Picnic Coffee

"Picnic in Silver Lake is roughly the size of a micro-studio and has limited seating, so its scene is confined to the line at the counter and a few folding lawn chairs outside. The crowd, like this tiny cafe on Sunset, is low-profile. Nobody is posing with their drinks, the music is soft, and the beanie-wearing clientele keeps to themselves—they’re the type who collects Popeye magazines and expensive stationery, or who used to put together pretty cool mixes back in their college radio days. Picnic’s caffeinated beverages, however, are much louder, like tricolored lavender matcha lattes, sea salt-sprinkled cream tops, and a triple-shot shakerato that tastes like citrusy iced tea." - sylvio martins

"The interior of Picnic Coffee looks like something out of Apartamento, or a smaller version of the MOMA design store. Vitsoe-style shelves sit on the walls, with a transparent speaker and mushroom-shaped orange lamp. While the interior is small, it offers a few colorful seats that fit with the rest of the vibe. Signature drinks on the menu include a Spanish latte with cinnamon and cayenne, a shakerato with demerara sugar and orange, and a yuzu tonic with espresso or matcha. Grab one of the camp chairs outside to get the full Picnic Coffee experience." - Mona Holmes, Rebecca Roland
