Partners with the Alcove Café & Bakery, another happening breakfast joint, the owners of these establishments clearly know the trick to running trendy, successful cafes. A hot spot for industry hob-nobbing, this Valley gem is always packed with striving actors reading scripts and agents luring new clients. If you don't find an empty meter on Tujunga, check the side neighborhood streets for plenty of free parking. As a tea snob myself, Aroma has the best selection of white and green teas, and you can never go wrong with the iced variety. Try the Aroma Breakfast Sandwich on a croissant with rosemary potatoes for a happy belly.
