    Just when you think you’ve mastered Starbuck coffee lingo, Sunset Junction’s Intelligentsia coffee shop introduces a graduate level of vocabulary including words like chemex, single-origin Clover brews and ristretto. A Chicago based company, Intelligentsia prides itself on using only coffee beans in season (just like your local farmers’ market produce), on-site roasting and boycotting drip-brewed coffee. It may take a few minutes more for your cup of java in the morning, but the space-age Clover brewing system that makes each cup fresh with a stream of hot water and a precisely machined inverse plunger is worth the lesson in patience.

    The light, whimsical space, designed by local architect Barbara Bestor reflects its Silver Lake neighborhood, with casual yet hip décor. The coffee beans are not the only thing Intelligentsia imports. For the opening of their store, they imported baristas from around the country to relocate to Los Angeles to work with their custom-built Synesso espresso machine.

    Try their signature Black Cat espresso blend or choose a coffee drink from the shockingly stark menu. With Forbes naming Intelligentsia the Best Boutique Coffee House in the U.S., they are surely here to stay, elevating our coffee intelligence one sacred cup at time.

    Open from 6 a.m.–11 p.m.
