Eateries Main | Burger | Cafe | Coffee | Diner | Dogs | Drive-in | Fast Food | Mexican For a look at more classic coffee shops from Southern California, take a peek at Roadside Peek's Coffee Shop Classics.
Ships is an institution among the classic coffee shops. However, unfortunately the last Ships went down in the mid-90's. From the jetset arrow to googie coffee shop architecture, the various Ships Coffee Shops were classic examples of the space age look.
A classic googie coffee shop was the Wichstand Patio in Los Angeles. When this site was at risk of being razed over by a bulldozer, the Los Angeles Conservancy's Modern Committee stepped in, and through its efforts, saved the structure.

Here's the famous "celebrity" Norm's off La Cienega in Los Angeles. Known to be a late night hangout of the stars in recent times, this location is one of the earliest Norm's in existence.
Sometimes a picture says a thousand words. This Denny's Restaurant sign has seen its end, about to be replaced by one of the newer Denny's Diner signs. Another sign, hearkening back to a previous era, is lost.
Here's an old former site of a Tiny Naylors off La Cienega Boulevard in Los Angeles.
This classic coffee shop still serves its customers off Hawthorne Boulevard. The front facade and huge lettering of Chips still catches the eye of potential hungry road trippers.
Looks like Hearts has now, for the first time in many years, decided to be open for dinner! Check out Hearts if you're you'd like to give these home style cooked meals a try. Many thanks to Adriene Biondo for photos and info.
