Vivid Cream Latte, Ultralight Bean, and pastries.
"In 2022, wife and husband team Michelle and Frank La opened Be Bright in a sunny Fairfax space. The cafe’s roasted beans are sold throughout Los Angeles, including at Constellation and Long Beach’s Steelhead Coffee. One would expect the vivid cream latte and ultra-light bean drinks to be delicious since Frank La won the 2024 US Barista Championship. (Note: The owners of Be Bright Coffee are related to Eater LA editor Matthew Kang, who has no business connection to the company and was not involved in the compilation, editing, or publication of this map.)" - Mona Holmes
"A Los Angeles coffee shop is launching a limited-time menu on May 1 to mark the start of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, with offerings that include cà phê trứng (an Americano with egg cream and cocoa powder), a misugaru latte made with Korean roasted mixed grain powder, and a pandan ube latte." - Rebecca Roland
"Led by a nationally recognized barista champion, this coffee shop is celebrated for contemporary trends like cream-top drinks and carefully executed espresso beverages, positioning it as one of the city's innovative specialty cafés." - Julie Wolfson
"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)." - sylvio martins, garrett snyder
