Essential LA Roasters
Go Get Em Tiger
Larchmont / Arts District
One of the most influential "new school" shops. Their Business & Pleasure (a flight of espresso and a fizzy hoppy tea) is a local legend.
Be Bright Coffee
Melrose
Founded by US Barista Champion Frank La. Expect precision-driven extraction and unique fermentation-process beans.
Maru Coffee
Los Feliz / Arts District
The height of LA minimalism. Their Cream Top (iced coffee with sweet cold foam) is the most Instagrammed drink in the city for a reason.
