Coffee Shop Says About You"},"content":{"rendered":"

\n\tLike astrological signs, a coffee shop \u2014 and inclination to stand in line at said coffee shop \u2014 can say a lot about a person. Heading from east to west, we\u2019ve read the tea leaves (or, ahem, coffee grounds) to divine what your Los Angeles caffeination destination reveals about you.<\/p>\n

\t\tLaMill (Silver Lake)\t<\/p>\n

\n\tNever one to sit still, you know that this perennial has the best espresso with the closest proximity to the Silver Lake Reservoir. You are ready to walk and talk like you are a side character in an Aaron Sorkin drama.<\/p>\n

\t\tMaru (Los Feliz)\t<\/p>\n

\n\tYou are either a people-watcher or glutton for punishment. Either way, you will never be disappointed by this hotspot. Yes, the weekend line can stretch halfway down Hillhurst, but you\u2019ll be rewarded with a Gen Z and\/or Alpha explaining to confused parents what a \u201ccream top\u201d is.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tMaru is a favorite of Gen Z and the least favorite of anyone trying to walk down Hillhurst.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tChelsea Archer<\/p>\n

\t\tCommunity Goods (West Hollywood)\t<\/p>\n

\n\tYou are a very good friend\/cousin\/aunt\/host because the most likely reason you are willing to wait an hour for a matcha and whatever \u201cbreakfast sliders\u201d are is because the out-of-towner visiting you for the week has been scoping this place out on TikTok.<\/p>\n

\t\tVerve on 3rd (Beverly Grove)\t<\/p>\n

\n\tA classic for a reason: It is centrally located and never egregiously packed. It\u2019s the little black dress of L.A. coffee shops, if that little black dress had the most useless parking lot you will ever see in your life. You worry suggesting it for a mid-afternoon meeting spot makes you look uninspired. It may, but it also makes you practical.<\/p>\n

\t\tLa La Land (Santa Monica)\t<\/p>\n

\n\tYou are a sucker for branding. This small chain may not be the city\u2019s best coffee \u2014 or even the best offering on Montana Avenue \u2014 but its bright yellow cups give you the serotonin boost (in addition to the caffeine kick) that will get you through the morning.<\/p>\n

\t\tPrimo Passo (Santa Monica)\t<\/p>\n

\n\tFor the unintentional Sunday thrill seekers, this cup of coffee comes with the added activity of dodging a steady stream of weekend run clubs that have a tenuous understanding of sidewalks, shared public spaces and common decency.<\/p>\n
