By Candlelight
Besides selling one of the largest varieties of non-leaded candles in Los Angeles, this store offers a restful ambiance in which to shop. You will find a rich variety of candles for your home or as gift items, from hand dipped candles, floating candles, lovely tapers (some in gorgeous iridescent shades that subtly glitter) to seasonal candle arrangements for all occasions.

Light My Fire
Light My Fire has hundreds (perhaps thousands) of hot sauces from around the world. Ranging from mild and amusing to spicy enough to curl eyebrows, the selection here is so rich and varied that a single selection seems impossible. A posted scale corresponds to the locations of the sauces, rated from 1 (just a little kick) to 10 (you’ll need a large glass of milk to soothe the burn).

Monsieur Marcel Gourmet Market
Known as LA's premiere gourmet food destination, this European-inspired gem (which also has a traditional sit-down cafe-style restaurant) offers thousands of imported specialty foods, olive oils, spices, sauces and one of Southern California's best chocolate collections. Its cheese, charcuterie and wine shops are unrivaled, with selections you simply can't find anywhere else in the area. And you won't want to leave without some traditional French macarons.

Bennett's Ice Cream
Bennett’s Ice Cream is one of the last of a vanishing tradition: Scott Bennett and his staff make their own ice cream from fresh ingredients mixed on the spot (you can watch the process through Bennett’s kitchen window). The result is so fine that Bennett's regularly wins awards (there are Blue Ribbons all over the shop). The flavors are also wonderfully inventive – try Scott’s cabernet sauvignon sorbet or his pumpkin ice cream.
