Larchmont Food News: Café Gratitude and Sam’s Bagel’s Make Local Food Lists, The Larchmont Celebrates Third Anniversary

Larchmont-Blvd

Two Larchmont eateries, Café Gratitude and Sam’s Bagels, were recently singled out by local food experts.

Just in time for warmer days and nights, EaterLA has updated its guide to great outdoor dining in Los Angeles. Larchmont’s Café Gratitude was named for its patio, “where diners can dig into a homemade veggie burger or a macriobiotic bowl with sea vegetables. Wash it down with a freshly made glass of juice.”

The “11 Best Bagels In Los Angeles,” complied by Danny Jenson for LAist, named Sam’s Bagels as his top choice when hanging around Larchmont Village.

This cute mom-and-pop shop does bagels right: they’re fresh plumpers with a nice chewiness and crispy exterior. Plus, they have a variety of different types of bagels—from jalapeño to cinnamon raisin and sun-dried tomato—and different kinds of schmears, including veggie and chive cream cheeses. If you’d like an extra oomph to your bagel, they have plenty of sandwich options like a turkey, bacon avocado combo or lox. Just remember to be patient when you’re in line because this place is oftentimes packed. Some things are worth waiting for. — Jean Trinh
