Silver Lake's hip coffee boutique Lamill has a liquor license, and they're ready to use it. They've debuted a new menu of beer, wine, and sake drinks, some of which are offered in combination with their specialty coffee brews and drinks. Included on the menu are two signature cocktails of which the Alhambra-based coffee emporium is particularly proud:
Tea Champagne - Imperial Palace Brut Blanc de Blancs with Lamill’s Organic White Pomogranite or Holiday in the Cup Tea. The tangy mix of sweet, bubbly champagne with the undercurrent of the tartly sweet pomegranate tea is a refreshing complement to the boutique’s amazing menu. Black & Black - Half Old Rasputin Imperial Russian Stout and Half Iced Organic Lamill House Coffee. This heavy stout beer from California’s North Coast Brewing Company combines with Lamill’s signature coffee for a rich, dark chocolate beverage with a full, satisfying flavor unlike anything available anywhere else.

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.
