I love meeting friends for brunch, especially if the cafe’s menu is French faire and delicious lattes are the standard.  French Market Cafe in Venice is such a relaxing spot to drink coffee and catch up with friends.  I was delighted even more when I perused their menu of French treats which offered dishes like croque monsieurs, crepes, and quiches.  Délicieux!  After deliberating over my choices, I finally went for an omelet with avocado, tomato and chevre.  To my surprise it also came with a toasted baguette and jam.  Paired with the honey latte, it was perfection.  They’ve got a great french market inside if you want to leave with your favorite french coffee, chocolates, and Paris Vogue.  Merci beaucoup to the lovely Nina who suggested the spot!

Walking down Abbot Kinney we had to stop at one of our favorite book stores, Equator Books.  You’ll even notice the amazing Miranda July in my photo of Asael looking at books.  Love her.  It was so cute seeing her and director Mike Mills (her husband) perusing the shelves. They have a superb selection of rare books so if you’re a fan of vintage book jackets like I am, I suggest you go take a look.
