Part 2 of 10: Ten Favorite Places to Write (in no particular order)

Our new South Bay writers group run by Nicole Criona starts tonight! To kick this new geographical age off, I thought I'd introduce you to a groovy place in her new neighborhood...

Java Man Coffee House is Hermosa Beach's oldest coffee house. It's housed in a 1920s bungalow! Java Man provides a variety of seating (in wonderful little niches and corners) that ranges from hard back chairs and tables to comfy couches and overstuffed chairs. They have a comprehensive breakfast and lunch menu and feature homemade soup! Of course, there is the all-important bonus of free WiFi!

The hours at Java Man would be a disadvantage (6 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays and 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the weekends) but the same people own Ocean Diner just up the street, an old fashioned coffee shop in the best tradition of formica tables and counter seating (open until 9 p.m. every day except Sunday when it closes at 3 p.m.)

Thank you. I just suggested (requested) a list of writerly haunts to another blogger for her "Friday Finds" meme. Have you been to The Cow's End, in Venice? Another place where I've enjoyed a cup of coffee and pastry while I work. It's a little busy downstairs, but if you go up you can get a lot done. The red shag carpet is part of what makes it what it is. Thank you again, peace,
