LAMILL Coffee

It’s fitting that LAMILL is set up on Silver Lake Boulevard, i.e., the epicenter of LA’s freelance culture. Grab a table in the dining room, which, with its leather banquette, artsy wallpaper, and glitzy chandeliers, looks like it belongs to a fancy restaurant rather than a coffee shop. There’s a full menu of toasts, soups, and salads as well as an oft-replenished fresh pastry case. Baked goods and décor aside, the quality of the coffee (roasted on-site) comes first. Stop by the tiny gift shop next door if you’re in need of a last-minute hostess gift.
