Intelligentsia Coffee: Starbucks can roast its beans in hell

This photograph was taken at Intelligentsia Coffee at 12:35 pm this afternoon -- little more than a half hour after the Chicago-based operation opened its Silver Lake store for the first time. The steamed-milk heart comes standard; so does, apparently, the adoration. The coffee? Terrific, and destined to become better; the company plans to open a Los Angeles roasting facility this fall.  Inside, customers were already buying Intelligentsia T-shirts; outside, a woman sat at one of the cafe tables and talked on her mobile: "It's a real coffee shop. You've got to see it." Get in line.

Intelligentsia, 3922 W. Sunset Blvd. (323) 663-6173

I wonder if there would be more different kinds of steamed-milk pattern developed for the coffee apart from heart shape...
