Cute little coffee shop with nice tartness. No seating, just a counter and a little bench around a tree outside. But the coffee is good!

By far our favorite restaurant in Highland Park. The food is to die for. Attached to Highland Park Wine, which we LOVE, and Triple Beam Pizza (pizza stand by Nancy Silverton, who owns Mozza in LA) and Go Get 'Em Tiger coffee. Pretty much everything you could need in one place.

Botanical gardens that are quite nice to stroll around. There's a good restaurant on site and a little train ride. But mostly, we just like to stroll the various gardens.
