This is Chris & Pitts No. 4, oldest remaining Chris & Pitts BBQ located at 9839 East Artesia Boulevard in Bellflower. Originally a 1940's diner, Chris & Pitts' owner has since painted it to resemble a log house so it is extremely unique. When you walk in, you're immediately transported into the past! Super friendly service and good food!

Ships is an institution among the classic coffee shops. However, unfortunately the last Ships went down in the mid-90's. From the jet set arrow to googie coffee shop architecture, Ships Coffee Shops were a classic example of the space age look.
