Live LAPD Scanner: Fight Grime & Crime in Venice Beach, Ca
Category:Arts & Culture
Location: Los Angeles, CA
A few times a month I get emails from folks who have visited Venice Beach, and regret leaving without that special item they saw on the boardwalk. Usually the artists are hard to find, but today I got lucky and the artist in question was right where the now distant traveler said he would be. I put the two in touch - and bam - SOLD! Nice to see good things come from what the boardwalk vending spaces are for!

Today five members of the group overseeing the remodeling of the Venice Beach Bathrooms on Ozone near the Rose Parking lot voiced final unanimous approval for the project. The final coastal commission meeting is also set. Through years of meetings this project has gone through many reviews and design proposals. The goal being a template of construction that can replace the outdated meth-rotisserie that is the current state of the Rec & Parks bathrooms. Today clears the way for the final list of rubber stamps. Expected groundbreaking for the project is expected in the Fall of 2015.
Yay.

Every once in a while, a miracle happens. As a Scandinavian I do not shy away from baked goods. Finding exceptional baked goods however is not always easy. While riding down Speedway the normal stench was interrupted by the warm, comforting smell of bread. The manager of The Venice Beach Hotel told me, “oh that is the new bakery, and the smell is the cheddar bacon scone”.
Sold.
I paid my first visit yesterday to this lovely, clean, professional bakery. Chef on hand busily guiding others as a fresh batch of quiche came out of the kitchen. Aside from the staple advanced array of coffee drinks, the bakery is full of breads and desserts. And if that isn’t enough to ring your bell they make shakes and have a lovely array of ice cream too. Snapped a photo of the menu which is attached. The coffee was great, the food is baked in the building… And to quote the happy staffer she said, “we aren’t going anywhere - we are here for the long haul”.
Well then, welcome to Venice California Coast Cafe. I think we’ll be great friends.
