A Local’s Guide to Studio City: Where to Eat, Shop, and Relax
If you’re looking for the quintessential Studio City experience, you’re in the right place. This lively neighborhood is full of cozy cafes, exceptional dining spots, trendy boutiques, and wellness havens—all just minutes from my latest listing at 4552 Morse Avenue. Whether you’re new to the area or a local seeking fresh finds, here’s a guide to some of my personal favorite spots in Studio City.
Coffee & Breakfast Stops
M Street Coffee
Just a quick 5-minute walk from 4552 Morse Avenue, M Street Coffee is a neighborhood gem. It’s the perfect spot to kick off your day with a freshly brewed coffee and a warm welcome from their friendly staff. The atmosphere is charming and relaxed—ideal for catching up with friends or diving into a good book.
Coffee Fix
This hidden gem is another must-visit for coffee enthusiasts. Located next to ES Body Bar, Coffee Fix is great for a quick pick-me-up. The laid-back vibe and quality brews make it a solid go-to for coffee aficionados.
Dining Delights
Homestate
For Tex-Mex fans, Homestate is unbeatable. Their tacos are iconic—my personal favorites are the Trinity, the potato, and the brisket. And don’t miss the blended spicy Paloma for a refreshing twist. Perfect for a casual brunch or a quick bite, Homestate is where flavor meets comfort.
Petit Trois
If you’re in the mood for something upscale, Petit Trois offers an unforgettable French dining experience. Their chicken liver mousse is to die for, but you can’t go wrong with the omelette or the steak frites either. This spot perfectly balances elegance and authenticity, making it a go-to for food lovers.
Shops at the Sportsman’s Lodge
Just a 10-minute stroll from Morse Avenue, the Shops at Sportsman’s Lodge is an upscale shopping center packed with dining and retail options. Grab sushi at Sugarfish or indulge in Uovo’s handmade pasta. For a chic shopping experience, Rolling Greens offers curated home goods, a nursery, and a wine bar upstairs. Equinox is also on-site if you want to fit in a workout!
Wellness and Pampering
Trim
This salon is fabulous for a fresh new look. Dani, the owner, is a “mad hair scientist” who somehow knows exactly what you didn’t realize you needed! Trim is a Studio City staple, loved for its friendly vibes and expert stylists.
ES Body Bar
An unassuming yet fantastic nail salon, ES Body Bar offers affordable manicures and pedicures. It’s a perfect combo for a little self-care outing that leaves you feeling refreshed without breaking the bank.
Outdoor Adventures
Beeman Park
For a slice of nature within Studio City, Beeman Park is the go-to spot. Ideal for a morning jog, family picnic, or simply enjoying some greenery, this park has a laid-back charm that locals love.
Fryman Canyon & Santa Susana Pass
If you’re up for a little more adventure, Fryman Canyon is a quick drive away with excellent views and trails. For the more ambitious hikers, head to Santa Susana Pass (around 25 minutes from Studio City) and explore breathtaking routes like Rocky Peak Summit and Old Stage Coach Road. Both trails are fantastic for seasoned hikers looking to get in touch with the wild beauty of California.
