Erewhon Culver City

LA's newest Erewhon proves that the company's designers are at least learning from past mistakes. For starters, parking at the Culver City location is a dream. The Culver Steps underground garage is large, half-empty at all times, and free for the first hour. Inside the store, you’ll find a layout with zero vendettas towards its customers: spacious aisles, natural crowd flow, and a hot bar prep area that puts most Le Cordon Bleu test kitchens to shame. The best feature, however, is the store’s proximity to The Culver Steps, a tacky-cute pavilion with fountains and terrace seating. Consider this the ideal place to inhale buffalo cauliflower before returning to work.
