INTELLIGENTSIA COFFEE, Venice Beach, Los Angeles

After a 12 hour flight, a visit to this leading edge coffee bar with 5 epsresso machines and 2 pour over set ups was well worth the cab fare out to Venice. We were treated to pour over in-season offerings from Nicaragua, El Salvador and Panama...sweet, clean and mighty tasty...and some great barista hospitality to match. Greated at the door, we were taken into this awesome brew room and asked how we wanted our coffee today...very cool concept!
