Sometimes you just feel that a food concept is going to be successful. Even better when you know you can build the right brand around it to make it so.

What do we have in common with Santana, The Who, and Coldplay? Besides being legends and rockers in their own right, they’ve all played two of the most iconic amphitheaters: The Hollywood Bowl and The Greek Theatre. But while the musicians are rocking sold-out arenas, we are rocking RFPs. The lifestyle is the same – all-nighters, drinking, heavy caffeine use.

With the outdoor temperature on-point for frolicking around in a scarf with hot coffee, here are six places you must visit in LA this fall.
