Not From Here

Los Angeles has always been a melting pot and that draws many businesses to open a location here.

From Berlin: Concierge Coffee

Beautiful layout with a shade filled back patio. Literally next door to LA organic coffee pioneer Groundworks arts district location. This was a great addition to the neighborhood and my favorite new shop, coffee is roasted locally in Vernon.

From The Bay Area: Smack Burger

Anyone who has been on this site for a while knows my love for Smack Brurger. Still one of my favorite most consistent smash burgers in LA.

From Santa Cruz: Verve Coffee Roasters

I worked for Verve for almost two years and I was part of the crew for their first Los Angeles location.
