Good laid-back cafe on the Westside
New to LA. Looking for Westside cafe(s) with good coffee, good pastries/baked goods and a laid-back vibe to sit at in the morning. For those who can make the connection, a devotee of Arizmendi, and sometimes Tartine, when in San Francisco.

Try Amandine on Wilshire near Bundy. I haven't been in the morning, but it's not usually too crowded in the afternoon. And I've never seen it look as crowded as Tartine! I prefer the croissants at Amandine, and the cake and pastries are wonderful too. The quiche is nowhere near as good as Tartine's, though.
