A Day at The Grove 🐾 (With Restaurant Picks & Passes)

Hey LA girls, who hasn’t spent a day exploring The Grove? 🛍️ This open-air mall—with shopping, dining, and entertainment—is not just a must-visit for tourists but also a favorite weekend spot for locals! This time, Nuts’ mom brought along the “supervisor-in-chief,” Nuts 🐶, to check it out! 🎶 The Grove Vibe: Fountains, Trains & Leisurely Hours The best thing about The Grove is its relaxed and cheerful atmosphere! With its iconic dancing fountain ⛲️, a charming vintage trolley 🚃, and flowers and greenery everywhere, it’s a delight to just wander around. Plus, it’s super pet-friendly—you’ll see plenty of adorable pups! ☕️ Highly Recommend! % Arabica – This Trendy Coffee Spot Is Worth Repeat Visits ✔️ Must-Try: The classic Spanish Latte and Matcha Latte are both incredibly smooth and rich, with just the right level of sweetness. It totally lives up to its reputation from Japan and Hong Kong. ✔️ Instagram-Worthy Setting: Their seating area near the fountain offers amazing views. Sipping coffee here on a sunny day while watching the fountain is pure bliss! It’s also a perfect photo spot. The cute little order window is adorable—even Nuts couldn’t resist standing up to peek at the menu, lol! 🐶 🍕 LA Pizza – A Romantic Italian Meal by the Fountain The biggest highlight of this place is its location! Right next to the grand fountain, the outdoor seating offers fantastic views. ✔️ Wins on Ambiance: In the evening, with the fountain’s music and lights, the dining experience here is next-level romantic! Perfect for a date or catching up with friends. ✖️ Taste: I tried their pasta and salad—the flavors were just okay, but the atmosphere makes it worth a visit for some relaxation. 🍣 Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill – Well… ✔️ Dog-Friendly: The patio area welcomes furry friends, and Nuts was well taken care of too. ✖️ Mediocre Taste: Honestly, this place was just average. The sushi and udon weren’t particularly impressive, especially for the price. Not worth a special trip—though Nuts seemed pretty interested in the udon noodles. Maybe he’d give it a paw of approval? 🤣 📝 Quick Summary: The Grove is absolutely worth a visit when you’re in LA! Bring your furry friend, grab a coffee at % Arabica, and enjoy a meal by the fountain. Pure bliss! 📌 Ad Disclosure: ❌ This account does NOT accept paid restaurant promotions! ✔️ Every review is based on personal experience—whether good or bad, we keep it real! 🌰 #LosAngeles #LADiscover #LAEats #ArabicaCoffee #LAWeekend #LACoffee
