LA’s Best Brunch & Shopping Spots in DTLA & Melrose 🍽️🛍️

📍 Great White Melrose ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I genuinely loved it here—despite some saying it’s “just pretty,” the food was fresh and flavorful! We went around noon and there were plenty of tables. Service was friendly, too. ✅ Must-order: Chicken wings (amazing!), shrimp pasta (tasted homemade), strawberry matcha drink (not too sweet!). 📌 8917 Melrose Ave, West Hollywood, CA 90069 📍 République ⭐⭐⭐ A popular Jay Chou-approved spot with a short wait. Honestly, I preferred Great White, but it’s still solid. ✅ Try: Mushroom toast and lobster omelette. Skip the matcha latte though. 📌 624 S La Brea Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90036 📍 Madhappy West Hollywood ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A trendy Korean-inspired clothing and coffee boutique right across from Great White! Perfect for browsing relaxed fashion, shoes, and hats after your meal. 📌 8906 Melrose Ave, West Hollywood, CA 90069 📍 Maxfield ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An iconic designer boutique with an impressive selection of luxury secondhand items, clothes, and shoes. Sometimes they have discounts! Located near Great White—definitely worth a visit. 📌 8825 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90069 📍 Petersen Automotive Museum ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Car lover’s paradise! Tickets are $30, and my husband spent over an hour mesmerized. Three floors of stunning vehicles, plus an extra $10 gets you into the vault with rare classics. 📌 6060 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90036 Whether you're brunching, shopping, or geeking out over classic cars, this mix of spots delivers style, flavor, and fun in true LA fashion. ✨🚗 #LosAngeles #BrunchLA #MelroseAve #ShoppingLA #GreatWhite #Republique #Madhappy #Maxfield #PetersenMuseum #DTLA #LAEats #Lifestyle #ExploreLA #CarLovers
