Locali is like the opposite of Famima: instead of all the convenience items imported from Japan, the emphasis is on locally-sourced products from some of our favorite producers. There's Carmela Ice Cream, La Guera Tamalera tamales and beer from Dales Bros. and The Bruery. Although located in a compact minimall space, Locali packs in a lot of interesting products that are either sustainable, organic and/or local, including wine and beer, sandwiches and salads from M Cafe, prepared food from several vegan suppliers, frozen foods, coffee and snacks.
Books, shopping bags, water bottles and other tchochkes for the green lifestyle are stocked as well -- even a handy countertop compost bin. Soon, there will be sandwiches, salads and soups made fresh on the premises, promises owner Melissa Rosen. Locali almost seems too good for Hollywood -- it's like a shop from Portland or Santa Monica -- but hopefully Hollywoodites will support all the delicious local products found at Locali.
Tip: Don't miss the Ruby Jewel ice cream sandwiches. They may come all the way from Portland, but they rock.

This place is amazing and the owners are genuinely great people! Their selection of edible goodies and even their non-edible stuff is excellent.
Definitely stop by and check them out :)
