On the second day of our weekend in LA we woke up bright and early to head for Grand Central Market in downtown LA, a downtown landmark since 1917. There were quite a few spots I was very interested in stopping at and thankfully Grand Central Market definitely has a wide range of cuisines and cultures, which excited me. First on my stops was G&B Coffee, since it was close to triple digits that weekend, the only thing on my mind was a cold brew coffee. The people serving up the coffee were not pretentious at all, which I always appreciate from a coffee shop. They had a steady flow of regulars, another good sign. My cold brew was really rich and bold and was perfection with a splash of half & half as well as their big block ice cubes.

Weekend in LA – Part 1
Recently my husband and I were down one kid for the weekend and decided to take a road trip to Los Angeles for the weekend. Living in San Diego, LA is only a two hour drive away, yet we don’t head that way too often. Considering how many times we drive to Disneyland, an extra 30 minutes is nothing. We figured let’s do it! I hit up one of my favorite Instagram friends Nastassia of Let Me Eat Cake. I love her Insta! If you aren’t already following @letmeeatcake on Instagram, you should. She was so sweet to give me a long list of her recommendations around LA. Needless to say, in two short days we hit up so many places, but still have some spots we weren’t able to get to yet or are eager to go back again too, that we will for sure have another weekend in LA again soon.
My husband, youngest son and I took off for LA on Saturday and arrived in town at around 11 am. Our first stop was ICDC on Beverly Blvd in Los Angeles, where they have ice cream, doughnuts and coffee. I had one thing on my mind, cinnamon-sugar doughnut holes. But as soon as we stepped inside the shop, we realized we were not going to be able to limit ourselves to donuts.
