Brick and Scones Cafe and Erin Mckenna’s Bakery
If you enjoy coffee, board games, and sweet treats this is a fun day date idea for you! Start at Erin Mckenna’s kosher, vegan, and gluten free bakery for baked goods that are so delicious you can’t even tell they’re vegan and gluten free. Take your treats after and walk over to Brick and Scones Cafe down the street. Their food is not kosher, but they have coffee and a surplus of board games to play while enjoying a coffee and treats from Erin Mckenna’s.

Color Me Mine
Going to Color Me Mine is a great idea for those who are artsy and want a relatively easy activity to do while talking and getting to know one another. Bonus point that you get something to keep as a souvenir of the date! Afterwards, you can keep the date going by walking around Beverly Drive and people watch and window shop while continuing to enjoy each other’s company.
