This unmistakable A-frame roof is a local staple and a part of the Los Angeles landscape. For decades, it meant one thing: a quick and easy bite. But what happens when one of these familiar structures trades its chili dogs for cold brew?
The former Wienerschnitzel, once clad in red and yellow, now sports a fresh coat of mint green and coral pink. It’s the new home of Intelligentsia Coffee, and they’ve brilliantly kept the single best feature of the original building: the drive-thru!
Intelligentsia Coffee has a long history of championing direct trade and sourcing beans from small, sustainable farms around the world. Each cup highlights unique flavors, from the Iced Avena Latte with a dash of cayenne seasoning to the Smoked Maple Latte.
The new space reflects Intelligentsia’s signature aesthetic, blending mid-century modern touches with a cozy, community-friendly vibe. Large windows invite natural light, while the outdoor patio offers a relaxed spot for lingering over a cup.
