Hunting down that outrageous carrot cake!
I love it at Brent's deli in Northridge. It's a monstrous four-layer tower that will last for days and days of leftovers. It was delicious because it wasn't too sweet. The cake was moist, the icing tasty but neither too sugary.

Looking for such a creature, preferably open late. Thanks!
Best BBQ in South O.C. or North Co. SD
Try Smokin' Mo's BBQ in downtown Huntington Beach. It's Memphis-style. I've sampled a great many things from their menu and enjoyed them all: three styles of ribs, pulled pork, tri tip. Sides are tasty, too. I adored the corn muffins and the homemade potato chips; garlic fries were less than stellar.

Adding my voice to those who say 25 degrees. My husband liked it so much that we went there for his birthday! Love the onion rings, too.
Tea Houses and Loose Tea
Oooo! I love that this discussion has the Energizer Bunny spirit. It keeps going and going and going -- all the better!
On your collective recommendation, I visited Funnel Mill. Absolutely delightful!! The tea was delicious. The service and presentation were top notch. The staff is happy to explain anything and everything you could want to know about their tea.
The only drawback was a lack of seating I find comfortable. They have only high stools and couches. I prefer standard tables.
But, it's a small sacrifice. I'll definitely go back. Free wifi is an added bonus.
Thanks, all, for the pearls of wisdom. Keep them coming!

Hi everyone. So glad to see this discussion is ongoing. I tried Tea Habitat in Palos Verdes, too. The tea is very good and the knowledgeable owner, Imen, is thoroughly devoted to Chinese tea. She teaches classes on tea and has a booth at Palos Verdes' Sunday farmers market. She serves high tea every day with reservations. She also stocks a good selection of Chinese tea servingware.

I followed Jeebo's advice and bought some tea at Urth in Santa Monica. I haven't tried it yet. But, this shouldn't end the discussion. Please keep making suggestions! Thanks.

I like black tea (English breakfast and Earl Grey) and green tea. But, I'm willing to be adventurous and try anything. :)

Thanks to all for your replies. Honeychan, I'd be interested in your Chado recommendations. Fire away...
Tea Houses and Loose Tea
I'm looking for a good tea house in Santa Monica. Though I may sit down and drink a cup, my primary goal is to buy loose tea. Any suggestions?
If you have a recommendation for some place outside Santa Monica, do tell so I know for future reference.
