Travel: Best of Venice, Deus

Deus Ex Machina Motorcycles

Custom Motorcycle/ coffee/ clothing/ surfboard shop

located on Lincoln Blvd in Venice

This shop has it all figured out! Specializing in custom motorcycles made to ride to the surf!

This company started with the idea of making a carrier on the side of a bike to hold a surf board. Now they are customizing all kinds of moto's. Not only is the shop in the back, but the store front sells high quality clothing. And if you care for a latte while you shop they are fully equipped with a cafe. And to top it off they are selling hand made surf boards.

Travel: Best of Venice, Antique Glass

Also on Abbott Kinney this charming Antique store sells my favorite greenware!!! Loving the owners taste and how they used color to display the overwhelming amount of product. Pile after pile of cake stands adorn every inch of this store. All the pieces are retro and come from the oldest, still in production, glass factory. I MUST have those S & P shakers!

Travel: The Best of Venice, CA

Local 1205 on Abbott Kinney

I fell in love with this cute cafe that just opened up. They serve coffee, fresh vegetable juices/ smoothies, deli sandwiches, prepared foods, and grocery items. The vibe is green and the foods are gourmet and organic. I ordered a BLAT and It was delicious! I also loved the infused cucumber lemon water. The decoration was also real retro-chic.
