Anyone who knows me well enough, knows I love coffee. It it one of my top five vices that I cant live without. It makes my day 100 times better knowing I’m up & charged with it’s delicious goodness. I’m quite picky & can usually tell when a cup of joe is just poo poo. It’s all about the beans & if the place cares enough to have their own special blend or at least one harvested with care, it makes me a happy camper. So, since I’m such a coffee snob, I had to try Swork. (Made LA Magazine & Sunset Magazine’s best coffee house lists) Up until visiting the place today, I had heard nothing but great things about the place & was extremely pleased to see it was all true. It’s a great, cozy place with amazing coffee & really nice people! There was plenty of seating, especially on this gloomy rainy day. Perfect day for a decadent chocolate fudge muffin, coffee & fashion magazines. Bliss…  Swork 2160 Colorado Blvd. Eagle Rock, CA 90041 t.323.258.5600

and yes that muffin was to die for…

choco-goodness!

a sea of macs and swork cups…

pillowtalkFor no particular reason, (other than he’s my music/foodie crush!) Mayer Hawthorne is awesome. Now even more so. I must find this and fill my greedy need for snobby coffee. Anyways here’s a few shots from Saturday night’s Hermosa Beach performance at Saint Rocke. He kept it classy even when a girl in the crowd was telling him to “take his pants off”. (ugg really? how un-classy!)  Pillow talk it is…   Intelligentsia Coffee Bar 323.663.6173 3922 W Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90029

I love coffee. I really do. I have it everyday. Its my elixer for a bad day, a comforting friend during a work break, & the best thing after a yummy meal. Once a upon a time when I would travel to New York for work, I’d bend over backwards to get a cup from Dean & Deluca. I had my first cup at Paramount hotel’s d&d in midtown, next to a hobo, respectively. As I sipped my warm, buttery cup with my pee smelling friend, I couldn’t find a better moment to celebrate my first trip to nyc. I had always dreamed of entering their amazing store in Soho since its one of the best for a food gawker like myself. When I finally had a chance to visit the market, I absorbed every minute of it.  The market itself is immaculate & the smells coming from the bakery & the coffee, made me weak in the knees. Hands down best coffee I’ve ever had. So for my birthday, my bf sent me a little d&d package filled with a great assortment of coffee  since I’m always dreaming about it & can’t physically be in nyc. If your looking to expand your coffee palate or just looking for a great little gift check out www.dean&deluca.com, under “gifts” for this little gem. enjoy!dean-and-deluca
