"Intelligentsia's Sunset Junction location is where several crowds intersect. On weekdays, this mosaic-tiled cafe in Silver Lake doubles as a workspace for screenwriters and graphic designers suffering from acute caffeine dependency. Set up shop at the counter as you furiously reply to Slack messages and order your third americano of the morning. Come weekends, there's a noticeable shift. Intelligentsia turns into the official sponsor of the Adorable Dog Olympics, where hot people who unironically wear trucker hats show up for cold brew and an excuse to show off Rico, their Shiba Inu. If you have a cute dog, and an Instagram account for them, you'll fit right in." - sylvio martins
"The House Blend (available from this Chicago and Los Angeles roaster) is mentioned among other high-quality instant blend recommendations." - Oliver Strand
"This neighborhood has plenty of coffee shops where people rock choppy mullets and work on scripts. Not only is Intelligentsia the most iconic one of the bunch, but they also make very good espresso. Come here to start your day in a sea of vaguely employed locals who woke up and put on designer denim just to show off their shiba inus." - nikko duren, brant cox, sylvio martins
"The Source of Silver Lake at Sunset Junction At the intersection of Hyperion and Sunset is the heart of Silver Lake, the source of the pulse; Intelligentsia Coffee. Fueling the neighborhood with crafted cups of caffeine, Intelligentsia has become the east side center of community and conversation. Their patio is the perfect place to catch up with a friend or to sit with a book and sip on a latte. Or, take your cup to-go and explore Sunset Junction and the surrounding blocks of boutique shops and restaurants."
"With coffee bars in major U.S. cities, this roaster features single-origin coffees sourced from organic cooperatives in Ethiopia and emphasizes direct trade with independent, sustainable farmers. The buying team encourages simple filtered brews to best appreciate the complex, fruity characteristics these Ethiopian lots can display." - Jessica Silber
