Bricks & Scones
B & S is the ultimate quirky coffee shop with soul, and we may heart it the most on this list for the following reasons. First, if you B.Y.O.Mug, you instantly get 10% off. Second, don't plan on ascending to the second floor unless you turn your cellie off, and plan on taping your mouth shut — we're talking college-library strict, here, people. And while we're on that topic, the Larchmont space has its own biblioteca, which you can even take books from — just be sure to pay it forward and swap them out with your own. Coffee's served for sure, but you'll want to have your scones with tea here, naturally.
Bricks & Scones, 403 North Larchmont Boulevard (near Beverly Boulevard); 323-463-0811.
