Dayglow Silver Lake rec: The Kolo pourover (I forget the country of bean origin). I’ve had it multiple times and it’s a cut above the rest of the coffees on the list. I like it for its deep, thick flavor and mouthfeel and its jammy red fruit. Funny – this is the opposite of what I prefer in red wines.

Junia Cafe, Gardena.
Pulled by Mike! Cortado perfectly balanced. The orange syrup on that latte is insanely good. Zest, juiced, and reduced. Yuzu Shiso Ade. So refreshing making their own shiso syrup.
Great vibes here. Sweet owner couple/mom-n-pop. Very popular with local Asian-American crowd.
This is a serious shop but their “fun” stuff is also pretty damn serious. One cream top for Earl Grey matcha drink. None of the fun stuff if overly sweet.

Ha I also went. 20% being donated it was a no brainer.
Just realize that yuzu shiso is very Tom Collins like.
I saw that bag you got.
I am not exactly around the corner either. Gardena has the best concentration of restaurants in the South Bay so it’s worth it to combine with other visits

I went in the afternoon. Glad you made it out . What did you get
Went to Junia a couple of days ago and it was slammed near closing time. Thought the cortado was pretty good and wife got the earl grey matcha cream top, which was really good albeit a little too small.
