Quick Eats – Spoke

Mar26

Date: February 2, 2018

Cuisine: Cafe

Rating: Cute place while riding

_

Sebastian and I met at the Zoo parking lot for some road bike riding along the LA river.
 Up here the river has a distinct and unique feel that I really enjoy, it’s simultaneously beautiful and ugly and always reminds me of:

Halflife 2’s extensive canal scenes!

And it has a non Alien inhabited “bicycle cafe” called spoke. You can “park and eat/drink”!

Simple stuff.

Avocado toast. Feta, corn, cherry tomatoes, arugula. I’m not sure I had ever consciously ordered avocado toast — although obviously I’ve had more or less had this simple dish. Pretty good actually in this combination.

Chocolate orange cappuccino. Interesting.

Weird hipster artifacts. That gut is exactly why I ride the bike — plus it’s fun.
