"Equator Coffees is a Bay Area coffee roaster that opened its first SoCal branch in Culver City's Ivy Station, a sleek, primary-colored coffee shop complete with glossy, light wood tables and plenty of sunshine streaming through its large windows. And apart from its great lighting and premium coffee options like the sweet lavender vanilla latte, Equator has teamed up with the chefs behind Border Grill and Socalo to offer specialty items like guava and cheese empanadas." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park
"A group of former Whole Foods executives and a Plant Food + Wine veteran chef are on the verge of opening an all-day plant-based restaurant in Culver City this week. Love Life [stylized as Love.Life] debuts on Friday, May 5 in the massive Ivy Station complex at Venice and National Boulevard, which also houses Etta, Equator Coffee, and the second tasting room for Los Angeles Ale Works." - Mona Holmes
"Bay Area coffee roaster Equator Coffee now has its first SoCal branch in Culver City. You’ll find the sleek, primary colored coffee shop (complete with glossy, light wood tables and plenty of sunshine that streams through the large windows) at Ivy Station, a new mega development near the Metro Expo line. In addition to standard coffee options, Equator has also teamed up with the chefs behind Border Grill and Socalo to offer specialty items like a cinnamon and star anise café de olla latte and guava empanadas." - Kat Hong
"Opening today at Ivy Station in Culver City, I’m pleased to see Equator Coffees bringing some of California’s best beans within walking distance for transit riders, tech workers, and locals, and they’ll be donating 10 percent of sales during the first week to the Los Angeles LGBT Center. A certified B Corp founded in 1995 by Helen Russell and Brooke McDonnell, Equator roasts its own beans, offers wholesale and a subscription service, and already operates multiple Bay Area locations from Mill Valley to Sausalito. The glassy, Kellie Patry–designed cafe offers drip and espresso drinks (including a collaboration spiced latte with Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger of Socalo), as well as teas, pastries from Farmshop, and toasts and breads backboned by LA favorite Bub & Grandmas; it joins fellow Bay Area transplants like Sightglass, Tartine’s Coffee Manufactory, and Blue Bottle in making the jump to Los Angeles. The shop is located at Ivy Station, 8900 Venice Boulevard in Culver City and is open daily from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m." - Farley Elliott
"A popular Bay Area, woman-owned B Corp is opening its first Southern California location in January at Culver City’s Ivy Station, offering sustainable, fair-trade coffees sourced from around the globe; to kick off the opening it’s collaborating with a local brewery on a limited beer that blends a kolsch profile with the coffee beans." - Farley Elliott
