Groundwork Coffee
1501 N Cahuenga Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90028

Groundwork has several locations around the Southland, and it's one of the original purveyors of organic beans and more than just a regular coffee shop. Part of the LA scene for over 25 years, the original location is in Venice and opened a Hollywood outpost several years later. This location serves up organic eggs, vegan meals and snacks, while offering a wide variety of single origin and signature blend brews. Try the Mexican latte, or the spiced cashew-milk latte for something special and unique.
