We were excited when Chicago-based Intelligentsia invaded the Eastside, now Westsiders can grab one hell of a fine cuppa closer to home thanks to their brand new and eagerly anticipated Venice digs.
Last night they got things started with a heavily-attended opening fete, where the crowd ate, drank, and were very, very merry in honor of the new coffee mecca. We found this video online from the festivities so you can see what you missed last night. Just don't miss out on their killer espresso and brewed coffee drinks and beans. Be smart: Get thee to Intelligentsia!

You guys perpetuate that whole westside-derived "Silver Lake is the eastside" thing just to get a rise out of those of us who know better, right?
Eastside for life!
They may have had their opening party last night, but I thought it wasn't actually open for business until the end of next week at the earliest.
Too crowded. Too, too crowded. And those vests the baristi had on were a little douchey. It is a pretty space.
