Owner

Bought the espresso machine today!

I am pleased to be the only owner of the esteemed Racilio Classe 6 espresso machine in the entire West LA area! Entirely made in Italy and virtually bulletproof, this thing is the best.

June 14th update

So in the coming couple of weeks there should be more to report, but the current status of the cafe is; I am 90% of the way through the permit process (which has been the hold up) and on Monday I should have the final details from the contractor so we can start the heavy construction. Once this begins it should come together fast.

In the meantime, the sign is being finalized, the menu has been made, various vendors are on board and I have an important meeting at Supreme Bean in North Hollywood on Wednesday to order the almighty espresso machine and water filtration system.

More to come!

Health Dept. Update

So the finalized/revised plans are as of today in the L.A. County Health Dept and supposedly they will fly through without a hitch! *fingers crossed*

"Coming Soon" sign is up!

Today we installed the "coming soon" sign, which looks great. I'll have to get a better picture of it, but this is it from a distance. It was a bit of an adventure hanging it from the roof, but it looks perfect! Now lets hope the cafe really is coming soon.

Here's a pic taken from the roof:

April Update!

First off, sorry about the long delay between posts!

Not a lot of interesting things going on, besides waiting for permits/preparing for the health dept. inspection/designing the menu.

The "coming soon" sign is going up this weekend, and the logo is finalized.. therefore will be going out to the sign company as soon as possible! The good news is, I've gotten a ton of extremely positive feedback from the local community, leading me to believe we have a hit on our hands!

More pics and updates to come this weekend. Thanks for checking in and pestering me to post!
