Lifestyle

On weekday mornings, pick up a latte and a “droptop” (topped toast) at the Eagle Rock outpost of Hilltop Coffee & Kitchen, Issa Rae’s coffee shop chain, or an oat milk flat white at local favorite Found Coffee. Freelancers and students will love the quiet study/work vibe, Everything Avocado Bagels and Mayan Mochas at Swork, and on weekends head to Rockin’ Egg Café, the neighborhood gathering spot for breakfast.

Your furry friend will have a blast running around the Eagle Rock Dog Park or playing with other pooches in the mini park above the patio at Muddy Paw Coffee.

Just to the east art aficionados can peruse the exhibits at the Norton Simon Museum and kiddos can interact with the hands-on exhibits at Kidspace Children’s Museum.

A house-cured pastrami sandwich at The Oinkster and Turkish street food at Spitz are musts for lunch, which you can walk off on the Eagle Rock Park hiking trail.

Afternoon shoppers will love seeking hidden vintage treasures at Owl Talk or Foxhole, followed by Thai iced tea on the shaded patio at Thai Eagle Rox.

In the evening, go bowling at All Star Lanes or meet friends at Relentless Brewing & Spirits where you can enjoy craft brews and watch the game.

The whole family will love take-out pizza from Casa Bianca, and for a special night out, indulge in steak au poivre and French wine at Cafe Beaujolais or succulent kebabs and complimentary baklava at Aslan Mediterranean Cuisine. There is something for everyone’s taste in Eagle Rock!
