Marie et Cie

The best place to sit at Marie et Cie is on their enclosed deck, where couches and loveseats offer a comfortable place to settle in with a book and a cup of coffee. Attached to a charming lifestyle boutique, the French-inspired, Valley Village cafe is all sorts of "darling," with wrought-iron chairs and tables that accompany a bubbling fountain on the outdoor patio. The cafe just started a breakfast and lunch service on Thursdays through Sundays, or stop by for a selection of pillowy pastries and an extensive coffee and tea menu, and enjoy the friendly banter of regulars who come here to work (Wi-Fi offered with a $4 purchase) and chat in a setting that's straight out of a Martha Stewart catalog.
