It has been a long long time, but I am back! This past year + has been quite the season, but I thought what better way to bring it back then with a little caffeination and good aesthetic.

As you know, coffee has always been a passion of mine. So, I decided to start another Instagram account to focus solely on all the coffee that It’s Lena Time embarks with (*plug..follow it @sipswithlena). Of course, that will provide lots of coffee adventures for this here blog.

Now, what’s not to love about an inviting sign with BOLD letters that state the one word we are all looking for? C O F F E E . Sold!

What’s even better is the inside is so quaint but so beautiful. They made such beautiful work inside the square footage.

This is what I call the moment of truth. Waiting as your latte is being made. Will it be good? Will it hit the tastebuds at the right notes?

The answer is yes, yes it did.

This experience was delightful and Abbott Kinney is always such a fun area in LA to visit. If I could handle more than my one cup of coffee per day, I would have visited every single coffee shop in that 1 mile radius. But alas, that will have to wait until next time.
