Intelligentsia

OK, after reading this was one of the few places doing the Clover extraction per cup. We had to try it as I am a full on twitchy coffee fanatic. We were going to be driving through Silverlake anyway that morning. There was a looong line out the door but we decided to go for it anyway. Thankfully, the line moved rather quickly and we got our order and grabbed a seat outside. This place was good but Mrs. Marvin was not quite sold on her 6 dollar cup of Autumn blend. She felt the blend was just too complicated and overly complex for her palate and not really what she'd hoped for(Not to mention a bit overpriced.) I tried it and liked it but perhaps that's just how it is with blends. No regular mocha as they were out of chocolate. How does that even happen? I dunno. Anyway, I had a nice iced Americano that was good to last icy drop. No pastries this time but maybe the next. Good but a bit far for my daily dose of Java. I'll keep going to Kaldi in my neighborhood but I'll be tempted to stop here any time of day I'm passing through Silverlake.
