Description sadly, this place has some of the best coffee (clover machine) and espresso in los angeles. what's sad about that? well ... most of the people there are douchebags and there "for the scene."

they sit and click and clack on their mac books ... working on screenplays that will never see the light of fucking day.

and they're bitter. but whatever ... this is los angeles.

we were there discussing film.

i'm sure we sounded like douchebags, too.

whatever.

There's nothing that bad with being a douche, I think...

that's why i try to avoid those modern-day places and stick to classic austrian cafés. the older the better. no one notices you, not even the waiter. which is a good thing. you can sit there for hours and nothing happens. someone said about that: "coffee houses are for people who want to be alone. but need company with that."

A sad coffee heresy, but sweet street photo though! Been in love with coffee houses all my life, and there is nothing I hate more than someone there just for the "scenery".

hip-scensters desecrate some of the best vancouver haunts, as well. Its a shame really, mostly when they're dressed like lumberjacks and smell just as bad

Nice picture.

Along with the description you wrote, give a very good sense of atmosphere of the place . Actually your little text made me see the picture... how to say it? "more intensely", because it removed a good share of the some-anonymous-coffee-shop character of the place. Now feels like I partly know it.

However, shot is nice graphically, in itself.

I really like this one. Not only because of the great picture but also for your personal opinion about the place. It gives a little bit more character to it. Now I REALLY want to go there and check the place out.

They're based here. Fun to go to and see them do the roasting. Did some design work for them a few years ago, and still have a friend who's there.

Good beans.

Bummer about the douches.

Man, thank goodness this isn't video, right? Save us from some of the douchebaggery.

Speaking of video (and bags), I managed to catch the "What's in the bag?" video of you on YouTube. Gotta admit, I have almost no clue of what was being discussed. But you came across as amicable and pleasant.

What the hell happened?

I’ll take a "film douchebag" over a "wannabe screenwriter douchebag" anyday!

By the way, didn’t have a chance to comment but very nice blog entry!
