Bohemian House of Espresso + Chai

"Located one block away from Downtown LA’s the Last Bookstore, the Bohemian House of Espresso + Chai specializes in chai and coffee drinks and is a place for creatives to hang out, work, or admire the black-and-white photographs from the 1960s. Try the plant-based smoothies, pour overs, or the cardamom date coffee." - Mona Holmes, Rebecca Roland

"Created by Farah A. Hagar, author of Blackie Bohemian: Book of Questions, this Downtown LA coffee house is a sensory explosion of 1960s cultural icons lining the walls, thriving house plants, and fantastic, fresh-brewed coffee. The menu is a mix of espresso drinks, like lattes and cappuccinos, hot teas, small snacks (think savory avocado toast and organic oatmeal) as well as a variety of vegan smoothies containing everything from strawberries and bananas to turmeric and celery. Available for takeout, visit their Spring St. storefront or call (213) 628-3086 to place an order." - kat hong
