Huckleberry
1014 Wilshire Blvd., (310) 451-2311. M-F 8-8, Sat-Sun 8-5; $$. No reservations.
A good spot for casual dining, light meals, and people watching, this bakery-cafe is well known for its delicious breads and pastries--muffins, Valrhona chocolate-stuffed croissants, cinnamon rolls, cakes, pies.
The breakfast menu is available all day and includes green eggs and ham, maple bacon biscuits, and duck hash. But lunchtime sandwiches can bring a smile to your face, too. My favorite is the marinated red pepper-burrata mozzarella-prosciutto with basil dressing on a baguette, but next time I plan to try the housemade brisket on ciabatta. The BLAT is also awesome.
A large selection of salads are available as sides (I loved the roasted baby carrots with avocado, cumin seeds, and lemon juice (get the recipe)
and the colorful red beets with kale.)
From among the dazzling array of desserts, I chose well--an exquisite salted-caramel square.
Counter service is fast and friendly.
Take-out service is busy, and from behind that counter you can see the workings of the partially visible kitchen.
