The London Plane piles their avocado toast high with toppings Via glorioffood.com
The London Plane is half café and half grocery, allowing customers to dine in or take home their gourmet fare. Better yet, do both! The Seattle-based establishment offers a special avocado toast generously piled high with mashed avocado, peas, asparagus, cilantro, mint, tomatillo salsa, serrano, pecorino, and lime. Every mouthful is a genuine pleasure to the palate as the flurry of flavors co-mingle. Elevated avocado toast? We think so.

Commissary: Los Angeles
A smokey take on a new classic Via yelp.com
Super-trendy and unique, Commissary is an L.A. hotspot located inside the Line Hotel. The eating area is gorgeous as you dine within a greenhouse bright with natural light and decked out with a notable interior. But let’s get to their chef’s take on avocado toast. As if the avocado alone isn’t tasty enough, Commissary adds depth of flavor and texture with creamy goat cheese, spicy chilies, and cured salmon. Call it a dish of complex simplicity, if you will. Every bite is perfectly balanced, but just to be certain, you’ll clear your plate.
