Coffee Shop Chronicles

I'm not a coffee snob. I'm not a former Starbucks employee who can make any espresso drink, or your local hip coffee shop barista who can taste the region of every drink and go on about it for hours. In fact, I usually like my coffee with ice or too much almond milk, but coffee shop culture is my absolute favorite. It's the bar of the day. It's a place to meet up with a friend and catch up, study/work, make a new friend, or escape life in a good book. A town's coffee shop really shows a lot about a town. Throw in an americano, and you have everything I could ever ask for. I love an excuse to try a new coffee shop, and I'm excited to introduce you to all the best ones. Let's start with my local go to Primo Passo Coffee Co.

"For the discerning coffee lover" This hip little coffee shop on Montana Ave is one of my favorites. Adorable minimalistic decor, cute mugs, and amazing espressso. The perfect place to grab an iced americano, sit outside,and people watch the many different lifestyles of Santa Monica.
