Enamoured.

floor to heaven
Intelligentsia in silverlake.
Here in the Bay Area, I can walk into many of my fave coffee spots and stare at their process all day. One of my favorite moments last time I visited the Southern end of our state was when Los Angeles welcomed me with open, caffeinated arms.
Came across this video and couldn't help to share. Enjoy!

  1. Cool place! Love the tile too.

    When I first met Cosmo (LA Cycle Chic), we had coffee at Intelligentsia.

    Cali + Coffee love.

  2. Some say the only coffee worth drinking is that which has been roasted immediately before brewing. Fortunately, I'm not so picky that coffee becomes like the Intelligentsia espresso. Did THEY roast that coffee right before brewing or did they let it get stale?

  5. beautiful! Back home is like that, but it's so ingrained in our being that we don't take enough notice or celebrate such passion out loud... although you can probably spot our passion by how many espresso we have in one day. A good espresso to start the day lifts you spirit no end and brings a smile to your face...
