Food Scene
My go-to for coffee in the morning. A great place to people watch and get a feel for the neighborhood. Service can sometimes be slow but no worries; you're on Venice time now!

Do yourself a favor. Make a reservation in advance and go! There is a take-out option next door which has one of the best breakfast sandwiches in the city. Just saying.

A Venice hidden secret, Figtree's offers half-off prices from 8:00 am-9:00 am. That means you can't afford NOT to eat breakfast here. Add in the ocean view and this is a deal that's hard to beat.

Another of the many Venice institutions. I've been coming here since 1987 and it's a great place to soak up some Venice atmosphere and flavor. Google is right next door.
