Intelligentsia is always good for coffee. Venice, Pasadena and Silver Lake.
Verve coffee just set up shop there. I'm familiar with them from Santa Cruz. They are absolutely top notch.
Took my kids to La Brea tar pits at 10 and 12 and they enjoyed.
MB post is good meal in Manhattan Beach. Pricey but good.
Pizzeria Mozza also good.
If you go to Santa Barbara, don't miss La Super Rica for Mexican. It's a dive, but super popular. Julia Child quoted saying "I would walk barefoot from LA for Super Rica"
