BREAKFAST DONE RIGHT: THE STRAY CAT CAFE

Many people say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. As your first meal of the morning, it sets the tone for the rest of the day, while welcoming fruits into your morning diet. For residents of downtown Los Angeles, the Stray Cat Café might just be one of the best places to start your day from, offering delicious food with an easy going atmosphere.

Situated within the thriving arts community of downtown Los Angeles, The Stray Cat pays homage to creativity as the café’s walls are lined with vibrant art from various artists. Providing a constantly changing decor to create a welcoming environment, the colorful paintings are what you first notice when you step inside, the art providing a human touch to the downtown eatery.

Yet while the celebration of art is a major selling point for the café, the affordable menu is what makes you come back for more. With all but two items on the menu coming in under $10, it’s easy to satisfy your hunger without breaking the bank at Stray Cat. Stand out items include the Orange Flavored French Toast (pictured above), topped with strawberries, mango, bananas and raisins. As well as various omelette options, highlighted by the smoked salmon and avocado omelette that’s nothing short of delicious. Also open for lunch and dinner, you’ll be hard pressed to find a more comfortable dining option in the heart of downtown.
