Catalina Coffee and Cookie Company

On our list of the best dessert spots in Los Angeles.

Cookies cool on bakery racks behind the counter at the Metropole Marketplace end of Crescent Avenue, alongside homemade brownies, cinnamon rolls, croissants and turnovers. Hot breakfast runs all day, including build-your-own burritos and sandwiches made to order, and the espresso bar stretches to chai, matcha and smoothies. The website takes orders ahead, which skips the line.
