The Attic.

Last weekend, I ventured out to Long Beach for an event, and had heard great things about this cute place to eat called The Attic. It's nestled in a nice little area near downtown and has such a homey feel so I decided to try it out.

Walking in was like walking into a backyard barbecue at a friends house. It's really welcoming and cozy. I sat in the patio outside, which had comfy couches and multi patterned tables. It overlooked the street and the weather that day made it a perfect vibe. 

As a lover of Bloody Mary's, I was so excited to see a page full of different types of Bloody Mary's they served. Each one had a different type of garnish on top of it. My boyfriend got the Meaty Man Bloody Mary, which used bacon infused vodka and was garnished with a slider and Slim Jim stuffed olive. I loved mine...the Caprese Bloody Mary with basil infused vodka and a tomato, basil, and mozzarella garnish. They were both to die for. 

The star of the show, though, was what this place is known for...Mac and Cheetos! It doesn't get more decadent than this, people! A glorious cheddar and mozzarella macaroni and cheese topped with hot Cheetos! There are so many add ons you can get to it too. I added some bacon, but kind of regret not getting avocados too. If you're looking for even more decadence, you can even add a fried egg on top of it! 

If you're looking for other comfort food dishes, I also recommend the chicken pot pie. The flaky crust on top of a hearty pot pie is just a feel good meal. 

Honorable mention to the bison burger, which my boyfriend said tasted really good, but I'm just not a huge fan of bison. 

Next time you're out in Long Beach and looking for a great place to comfort your foodie soul, try out The Attic, you won't be sorry! Happy eating! 

Eveleigh.

I'm still on an LA brunch tour finding the best places to go to brunch, and Eveleigh was on my top 5 places to try. I was actually debating on celebrating my birthday there this year. I went to Eveleigh with a couple of my friends for brunch and I was very pleased with the food and the ambiance there.

Outdoor patio seating. 

It's located on the infamous Sunset strip in LA and has such a cute little garden patio. You almost forget your in the city when you eat here...almost.

My friend and I were meeting our other friend there, but we arrived a little early so we had a drink at the bar while we waited. I started with their Bloody Mary, but my second drink, the Eveleigh Lemonade was my favorite. It had chamomile infused tequila, lemon, and honey.

Our Bloody Mary's. 

For my meal, I ordered the Baked Eggs with prosciutto, heirloom tomatoes, chevre cheese, and arugula. It was SO good. The Avocado Toast was delicious too.

This was a cute spot for the occasional brunch. It's a good spot for brunch with girlfriends.
