Cafe Balcony: My New Westside Writing Haunt



After Elysee's fall from grace, I thought I'd never find another hip cafe to take its place. My writer's block has been killing me. Yesterday I decided to try Cafe Balcony on Santa Monica and Rochester / Centinela Ave. The place is amazing.

+free, easy street parking on centinela ave.
+$2 loose leaf tea with hot water refills
+awesome ambient music
+warm crowd of regulars
+wall of power plugs
+big counter space
+free wireless (though my computer is old and couldn't access it)

looks like i've found a new home!
