"I'm excited about a new coffee-and-breakfast spot in Los Feliz called WKNDR (the truncated name reads as “Weekender”), from Joshua Pourgol of Tacos Tu Madre and Bardonna. It lands inside the former Good Greek Grill on Vermont, next door to the movie theater and just steps from his other restaurant, Tacos Tu Madre. The shop opens today serving coffee and pastries only (no breakfast burritos to avoid cannibalizing his other spots), with a full food menu expected by March 1 and heartier all-day fare to follow. The small interior has a few stools at the counter, tight two-tops, and patio seating out front near Skylight Books; Julio Uriarte (formerly of Longshot Coffee) will oversee the coffee and tea program while chef Adrianna Sullivan (Pie Hole) handles food, and the café is using Sightglass and 49th Parallel beans. Expect limited hours at first with plans to expand to roughly 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily." - Farley Elliott
