Sleepy Eagle Rock Earns a Pleasant New Wood-Fired Bakery and Cafe

Eagle Rock arrival

Penny Oven is now open in Eagle Rock. The casual bakery and cafe comes by way of the same folks as nearby Piencone Pizzeria, and features a variety of all-day options from coffee and sweets to sandwiches, salads, toasts, and beyond. As of now, hours are 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily.

Wine and dinner

The Blending Lab is doing a fun dinner with Colectivo Felix on Thursday, June 13. The South American pop-up is pairing wines with dishes like skirt steak and mole, or a mushroom tamal, for $150.

Support

Here’s a simple message from the folks at Prime Pizza: Order direct, instead of getting bitten by fees from delivery apps that also cut into the revenue for small businesses. On a related note, Little Tokyo’s location of Prime Pizza is now doing happy hour deals including $2 cheese slices daily from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. (and again 10 p.m. to close), and $12 pitchers of beer.
