Santa Monica, California: 18th Street Coffeehouse; restaurant review

18th Street Coffeehouse  

1725 Broadway/18th St., (310) 264-0662.  Daily 7am-6:30pm. 

Rumored to be owned by Bob Dylan (no one wants to verify that), this cozy coffeehouse features a pleasant decor that includes broken-tile tabletops, booths, and an array of art.  When the weather is nice, an open-air courtyard is particularly inviting.  Choose from coffees and sweets—perhaps an iced coffee and a miniature lemon Bundt cake like I enjoyed.  As might be expected if the rumor is true, the background music at the 18th Street Coffeehouse is exceptional.  No Wi-Fi is provided and cell phones are discouraged, but many individuals camp out with their laptops.  Claims to fame include being the setting for episodes of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” (“Denise Handicapped,” Season 7, 2009) and “Modern Family” (“Rash Decisions,” Season 6).  Free parking is available in an adjacent alley.
