Common Ground Coffee Shop and Christian Bookstore

los angeles takes its coffee seriously, which means the bar for what counts as a neighborhood spot worth returning to is genuinely high. common ground coffee shop and christian bookstore on saticoy street in canoga park clears it. the west san fernando valley doesn't always get the same attention as silver lake or los feliz when people talk about the city's coffee culture, but that says more about where food writers tend to park their cars than about what's actually happening out here. the regulars who've found this place keep coming back, and that kind of loyalty in a city with no shortage of options means something. if you're west of the 405 and want a cup that doesn't feel like an afterthought, saticoy street is worth the detour.
