Canyonites make stopping into this unassuming eatery a must on their social schedule, partly because of the location, but mostly due to the super-fresh fare. Organic greens comprise the leafy salads, and crusty breads encase the local produce of the super-tasty sandwiches. Fresh-roasted coffee draws loyal repeat visitors, while fruit smoothies attract the next generation of Waterlily patrons. For those brisk canyon days, try a cup of the hot and healthful homestyle soup. Light and airy, the cafe boasts a gold-hued decor befitting its Topanga locale. To maintain the down-to-earth atmosphere, Waterlily eschews traditional table service for the less formal order-at-the-counter process, a la Starbucks. The cafe also attracts an eclectic array of area musicians who perform free concerts on a regular basis. -- Jenna Robbins
