We go here almost every Friday. In fact, I went into labor with my fourth child just outside. We left our tacos on the counter and drove straight to the hospital.

Roberta's
8810 Washington BlvdPricey--but delicious.
I actually would not recommend this place--unless you are looking to impress your friends with your coolness factor. Also, the outside, upstairs patio has a great view.

This is one of our favorite spots for breakfast. It is never crowded, and the food is delicious. Plus, they tolerate my four boys. Sometimes, they even bring us cookies!

A fun place to walk around and (when the season permits) pick your own produce. There is a short trail that leads up to the Culver City stairs. From the top of the trail, you can see a good bit of the city.
