Intelligentisa Venice Coffeebar - Coming Soon!
Posted May 9th, 2009 by MegIntelligentisa Venice is hopefully opening on May 15th! Different from Silver Lake, when you enter the beautifully designed Venice coffeebar you will meet with a concierge and then be taken to one of four custom-fabricated espresso machines where you will deal one on one with a barista. They will take your order, make your drink, and ring you up. Like all Intelligentsia’s, the workers will be hip, knowledged, and amazing! The whole process is pretty neat, including paying because they do not have registers and use a cell-phone like tablet so you can pay anywhere in the store (like the Apple store!).
Also, I read that they have hired M’Lissa and Chris Owens from Ritual Coffee Roasters in San Francisco to work their magic behind the bar. This couple is notorious for amazing coffee cuppings, which is equivalent to wine tastings. I am very eager and excited for it all!

I can’t decide which one is more convenient for me to go to. The Silverlake one has Pazzo Gelato across the street, but then Venice has that new gelato place over there too. Le sigh. However will I make up my mind!?!

I think the new Intelligentsia will be a lot different in vibe and atmosphere than the one in Silver Lake, so maybe that might influence your decision other than the nearest gelato location. I haven’t had Pazzo Gelato, I always stare at it longingly too. Ooh, there is a nice cheese store next to the one in Silver Lake though. You’re lucky that you are in the middle of them :)
