Salt and straw lavender ice cream is hands down my favorite! I love all the creative flavors they rotate every month but I always stick with the lavender.

Simply the best health food store and prepared delicacies in Venice Beach. According to the book The History of Erewhon, founded in 1966 by Japanese immigrant Kushi, the goal was world peace. “People would eat better, they’d be healthy. Being healthy, they’d think better. Thinking better, they would realize that war made no sense,” is how he described it. The name "Erewhon" is derived from the 1872 satirical novel Erewhon by Samuel Butler. In the novel, Erewhon (an anagram of "nowhere") is a utopia in which individuals are responsible for their own health.

This place is really cool. You can walk through and sample various eateries in between doing your Italian grocery shopping. After a few glasses of Barolo, shopping at the Century City Mall becomes a lot more enjoyable.
