Known affectionately by residents and local media as the "Mayberry by the Sea"– or known not at all! While many people have heard the old Tribe Called Quest song "I Left My Wallet in El Segundo", try asking them to find it on a map. What El Segundo really is, is LA's best kept secret. A haven of locally owned shops and bars that has been gloriously frozen in time.
Named after El Segundo's blue butterfly sanctuary, this quaint cafe has all the good stuff you'd want from a neighborhood coffee shop: delicious coffee, artisanal tea selection, fresh bagels, baked goods, and even some outdoor seating. It fits in alongside all of the other mom and pop Main Street establishments, offering free wifi to its customers who often stay put for a long while.
