"I experienced Kick Butt Coffee as an unpretentious, versatile spot in Brentwood that has served as an early presence in the neighborhood’s hospitality scene and functions as a live music venue, comedy club, and remote workspace; its relaxed vibe has helped regulars build lasting relationships — one longtime customer used it as a study headquarters for law school and the bar exam, referred an employee who still works there, and even found love connected to the cafe." - Taylor Tobin
