Intelligentsia Coffee


#WHATSHOULDWECALLME : Trying to sleep after drinking too much coffee (click here)

Let's be honest.  You know you probably need to cut back on the coffee to avoid looking like this pup.  But, let's keep it real.  Coffee shops like Intelligencia make it too hard to do that.

For those of you who saw The Green Hornet (2011) starring Seth Rogen and Jay Chou, you'll remember that Kato's coffee was more than a just a drink (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0ELX1UYKiQ).  It was an art form, speaking to the senses from all angles.  Similar to that are the espresso drinks at Intelligentsia. Think of it like the scene from The Green Hornet:

[Enter into Intelligentsia]

You smell the slightly toasted arabica beans right when you walk into the cafe.  (Its slightly sweet, with notes of brown sugar and chestnut.)  


Your ears start to buzz as the espresso machine is fired up, and the beans begin to grind.  

Once the milk is poured into the cup, you admire the barrista for their intriqate skill at latte art.  

After the drink is given to you, the heat from the cup transfers into hands signalling your brain that it's time to enjoy this marvelous cup of happiness.
[Exit with smile on face]

Intelligentsia has been voted #1 coffee shop in Los Angeles time and time again. Clearly, it's no surprise that you walk out of this place happier than you did walking in! The lines can build up quickly (especially with hipsters, hippies and the like), so chassé down to a location near you! http://www.intelligentsiacoffee.com/locations
