Amanda MorseGgiata Delicatessen
Ggiata is a New Jersey-style Italian deli that arrived in Highland Park in July 2024, and it has become one of the most consistent sandwich destinations on the Eastside in a short amount of time. The menu centers on Italian cold cut subs, breakfast sandwiches on house-baked biscuits, and a rotating selection of deli items that change with the season.

No Name (hjc985)Bub and Grandma’s Pizza
Bub and Grandma's took over the space at 5101 York in 2025 and hit the ground running with thin-crust pies by the slice, whole 18-inch pies, garlic knots, and cannoli from a walk-up window. The parent brand is already well established in LA's bread and bakery world, and the pizza operation carries that same standard for quality ingredients. It is the kind of neighborhood pizza counter that every block deserves and most blocks don't have.

ToastYellow Paper Burger
Yellow Paper ran as a roving pop-up in Eagle Rock for years before opening their first permanent counter on Colorado Boulevard in January 2025. The menu is built around smashburgers with crisp toasted buns, yellow chiles, American cheese, pickles, shredded iceberg, and their in-house yogurt-based "ronch" sauce. Tater tots come with a liberal dusting of Old Bay, and the apple hand pies are made from scratch. The patio fills up on weekends, and the hand pies sell out.

ToastCarnivorous
Carnivorous Creations moved into the longtime Colorado Boulevard address that housed Malbec Market for ten years, and they brought a completely different concept built around protein-forward dishes cooked without seed oils. The menu covers premium burgers, chorizo bowls, and rotating specials made with beef tallow, butter, and olive oil. It is a chef-driven operation that takes ingredient sourcing seriously without making a statement out of it.

Creature's Plants and Coffee
Creature's opened in early 2025 as a 12,000-square-foot plant nursery and specialty coffee shop with a 50-foot greenhouse, an extensive outdoor seating area, and a curated selection of indoor and outdoor plants you can take home. The cafe menu runs on specialty espresso, ceremonial-grade matcha, and house drinks like a lavender latte and turmeric blend. It is queer-owned and run, and the space reflects that in the way it was designed: there is nothing accidental about any of it.
