a shiny new coffee bar at grand central market.
when g&b first opened at grand central market, they always said they were eventually going to tear down the existing stall and create a full 360 degree bar.
but first, coffee in silverlake.
only a couple weeks after blue bottle coffee opened their echo park location, alfred coffee opened up a cute little shop in silverlake! love the coffee love that the east side is getting.

blue bottle and blue skies in echo park.
we needed a pick-me-up on a hot saturday afternoon, so we ventured over to the newly opened location of blue bottle coffee in echo park. the space in the historic jensen recreation building and is a bright, clean, industrial space filled with natural light and lots of seating options.
