Cafe Audrey, Los Angeles

This is a cafe with an angle and an attitude. Laid in elegant black and white checkerboard tile and bedecked with giant mirrors and photographs of young Audrey Hepburn, the patron saint of the place, this bistro boasts a chic and whimsical decor reminiscent of something out of Alice In Wonderland . Perched on a corner of Hollywood Boulevard with its hustle and bustle, Cafe Audrey remains an oasis of charmed tranquility and dreamy-eyed lingering with a distinctly European flavor. The menu is comprised of tasty sandwiches and coffee drinks. Come here mid-morning for a sandwich and a cappuccino when the place is awash with sunlight, giving it a festive lustrous aspect. - Kate Sobol
