Morning coffee
A great spot for coffee, breakfast, brunch, or even happy hour and dinner. It can get busy, but even then the wait isn’t bad since there’s benches outside, newspapers and cookbooks to look at, stores next door, and the line moves fast.

Amazing bread, pizzas, veggies, salads, sandwiches, and a host of other gourmet takes on what sounds like normal food. Small, charming spot where you order at the counter then find a seat. Can get very crowded at peak times but we always manage to find a table.

Very popular and embodies the (new) Venice bohemian, rich, grungy, celebrity scene. You can spend a lot here because of all the tasty options, but the atmosphere is casual and energetic, and it's a great value for the quality. New American, farm-to-table food. This is the one place I'll happily wait in line for.
