The Spot is the oldest existing vegetarian restaurant in Los Angeles. Over the years, as Hermosa Beach grew from a small, sleepy beach town to a major tourist destination, the Spot has become world famous for their award-winning Spot Veggie Burger and Savory Sauce. Today, the Spot has become one of Southern California's most popular vegetarian restaurants. Their recipe book, "The Spot Cook Book: Recipes from the Heart" has sold many thousands of copies worldwide.
