Sticks and stones may break your bones, but Bricks and Scones will never hurt you.  In fact, they will only make you feel better.

Bricks and Scones is the newest coffee shop to open just north of the Larchmont Village.  This isn’t an “official” green cafe, but it does practice a lot of eco-principles including using only compostable hot and cold cups from Greenware and serving Direct Trade Intelligensia coffee.  They also offer a 10% incentive for those who BYO cup/mug.

And did we mention the scones, croissants and red velvet cupcakes are all homemade in house by the owner’s mom.

Whether you’re an outside sun seeker or a quiet book nook reader, Bricks and Scones’s two story cozy brick shop and beautiful courtyard is the perfect place to lose yourself in a story, catch up with a friend or get some work done on your laptop with the free WIFI — all while enjoying a delicious cup of coffee, tea and of course a scone.

But please, only share this gem with those you really love as it’s truly something special.

Bricks and Scones is located at 403 N. Larchmont Blvd., Los Angeles; (323) 463-0811.
