If you’re an eastsider, Atwater Village is where you move if you want to feel a little bit grown up, but aren’t quite ready to be Eagle Rock grown up. Once no more than poppy fields, this lesser known, little-brother neighborhood is on the rise. Compete with other “creatives” to get a “I can’t believe we actually got it” house before Forbes gets word about all the cool stuff happening here and ruins everything. But seriously, this place is as diverse as it is welcoming. Quiet, tree-lined streets? Check. Surplus of locals-heavy happy hours and vibrant weekend energy? Yep. New bars, cafes and interesting shops opening on the regs? All the time. That elusive ‘community feel’? In spades. It's the perfect LA neighborhood for discovery...and also brunch.
Falafel even your snobby NY friends will love.
Treehaus started as a pop-up shop out of a green 1977 VW bus. Owned by two coolest-ever local moms whose passion for art and design shines through in this delightful boutique. Most of the stuff here is made by local artists and you can feel their love for uncovering unknown talent not only in the shop, but their other community events (art openings and more). Treehaus is your place to find that unique item your friends keep asking where you got it. They share their space with best-name-in-town SewLA, a haven for DIY local makers.
