Yelper Rebecca F., who reviewed it Aug. 15, wrote, "The lemon meringue croissant was everything! The marshmallow-like cream on top really set it off! If I lived in L.A., I would order coffee from here over Starbucks!"
Sparrow Mart
Sparrow Mart is a pop-up exhibit courtesy of British artist Lucy Sparrow that can be found at 550 S. Flower St. in the Standard Hotel downtown.
This unique L.A. supermarket is filled with over 31,000 felt groceries, Artnet news reports, ranging from fresh produce and deli meats to cigarettes and cleaning supplies.
Come shop the Instagram-worthy 2,800-square-foot installation for handmade plush treasures like sushi, Chef Boyardee and Duracell batteries.
You better hurry. The pop-up will be closing up shop Aug. 31.
HomeGoods
New to 11211 Ventura Blvd. in Studio City is HomeGoods, a furniture store offering an ever-changing selection of merchandise from around the world.
The national chain — with locations situated throughout the United States — offers products ranging from home accents and rugs to kitchen essentials and seasonal decor, generally at lower prices than traditional retailers.
Yelper Tianne R., who reviewed the new addition on Aug. 15, wrote, "Brand-new HomeGoods in the old Office Depot location. ... The store is organized really well for now. But we will see how long this lasts because it's brand new, so who knows how long it will stay this clean. Huge selection and the entire space is full. Love it!"
