Beat The Fall Chill At L.A.'s 11 Best Coffee Shops

Demitasse

Run by self-proclaimed "coffee geeks," Demitasse takes its joe very seriously with staff elevating its service and products to a careful and passionate craft. Roll your eyes all you want, but trust us when you taste the difference in each barista's signature drink, a specific concoction only available when said barista is "on bar" (coffee geek speak for "behind the counter to make it"). As is probably obvious at this point, Demitasse proudly roasts its own coffee one small batch at a time and brews on an array of rare slow-drip and single-cup machines so you know yours is always made special for you.
