The daytime-only <a href=\"https:\/\/la.eater.com\/maps\/echo-park-best-essential-restaurants-los-angeles\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Echo Park cafe<\/a> built itself on the bricks of colorful macronutrient-dense, greens-loaded bowls using local produce and an entirely gluten-free menu that still has plenty of sandwiches. At times, the menu reads as a caricature of the California farm-to-table cafe genre that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eater.com\/pop-culture\/955847\/gwyneth-paltrow-interview-goop-kitchen-expansion\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Goop<\/a>, among others, has cashed in on with all the brothy beans and coconut whip-dolloped gluten-free pancakes that come with the territory, but Honey Hi somehow manages to pull it off. And for <a href=\"https:\/\/la.eater.com\/maps\/best-gluten-free-restaurants-bakeries-los-angeles\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">those who avoid gluten entirely<\/a>, there are few better options in town for a meal without an ounce of wheat in the vicinity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph u67w0ti va4xi81 va4xi80 e8cira1\">Honey Hi rivals Los Feliz\u2019s Figaro Bistrot and Silver Lake\u2019s Seco for sidewalk seating that seems designed to watch passersby promenade with their minuscule dogs. Grab a seat at one of the outdoor tables to hold court over green juice and a miso bowl, while someone who had a three-episode arc on an HBO show settles in behind you.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph u67w0ti va4xi81 va4xi80 e8cira1\">Honey Hi sells loaves, and half loaves, of its buckwheat sourdough bread to take home, alongside gluten-free pancake mix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For almost a decade, Honey Hi has embodied a particular wave of Los Angeles eating \u2014 and has&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":471755,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[80928,103,61,60,446],"class_list":["post-471754","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nutrition","tag-dining-reports","tag-health","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-nutrition"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471754","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=471754"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471754\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/471755"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=471754"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=471754"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=471754"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
