Could anyone rec a Westwoode/WLA/Santa Monica spot for an outdoor, early afternoon coffee lunch?

A friend is coming down for the Bay Area and needs to meet someone for a business conversation. I never leave the house anymore, so I’m not sure.

Thanks so much!!!

Westwood: Violet Bistro, in Westwood Village. You can enjoy outdoor coffee at Espresso Profeta next door after lunch, even.
Santa Monica: The Cloverfield, at the Santa Monica Airport

Not sure if this meeting is happening today (in which case this might be too late), but Tuscan Son would probably also work well.

if not too late to be of use, Tiato in Santa Monica [2700 Colorado Ave] has a nice outdoor dining area.

Thanks to you bruins and to PGL … I passed along the recommendations.

bruins – As it happens the I know the friend who asked me for recs through our UCLA ties and the person he is having lunch with is someone he knows through his UCLA days.

Thanks everyone.

They ended up picking this place:

I’ve never been there, but that’s what they chose.

The site of many a business lunch for folks at all the tech and entertainment companies in eastern Santa Monica (of which I used to be one). The food is decent if not spectacular and the outdoor space is really nice.

I used to work across the street from Tiato. Gorgeous space, that’s the best thing I can say about it. The grilled cheese was worth ordering and I would get that again.
