Brentwood-Westwood, Los Angeles · restaurant
A longtime family-owned café and bakery best known for a chicken salad sandwich that’s survived unchanged since well before the iPhone era. Roasted chicken, apples, grapes, and watercress layered onto pecan-raisin bread. The bakery case pulls people in first, but the heat-at-home section stocked with brisket, cheesy meatloaf, and macaroni and cheese is what turns a quick stop into dinner plans.
Clementine signature: dense, moist banana bread encrusted with toasted walnuts.
Thick-cut challah with vanilla mascarpone and strawberry compote, breakfast worth the wait.
