The 16 Best Coffee Shops In LA
"Fun fact: Be Bright’s founder was named the best barista at the 2024 U.S. Coffee Championships (no big deal). But whether or not he’s the one frothing your latte behind the counter at this breezy, blonde wood shop on Melrose—or at their weekly stand at Smorgasburg—you can expect Be Bright’s seasonal drinks to be interesting and balanced, like the mocha topped with a nutty black sesame foam, or the toasted coconut latte made with macadamia milk and a dusting of smoked sea salt (it tastes like an ocean breeze seasoned your morning coffee).
