Blue Bottle Coffee Has Opened A New Shop In Venice

Oakland-based Blue Bottle opened their second coffee shop in Los Angeles today in the heart of Venice.
The new digs located at 1103 Abbot Kinney Boulevard will be serving up Blue Bottle's single-origin drip and espresso drinks, and their Dandy espresso that's only available in Los Angeles (including their Arts District location). They'll also have their popular chicory New Orleans Ice Coffee (which we're kind of obsessed with) that you can buy fresh or in their signature milk cartons.
As for grub, they'll have Blue Bottle's cookies as well as baked goods from Brentwood restaurant, Farmshop.
San Francisco-based Jensen Architects designed the space that has a large LED light installation on the wall that has colors fade in and out in the same vein as artist James Turrell's work. We're talking about the lights fading in around 6:05 a.m. when the employees start their day and fading out around 7 p.m. when the sun is setting. Well, you've got our attention.

This is part of Blue Bottle's expansion into the L.A. market. They announced in April that they were taking over Arts District's Handsome Coffee Roasters, and the brick and mortar fully transitioned into a Blue Bottle in July. Blue Bottle is expecting to open another L.A. shop in Culver City in 2015.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
