good coffee on western avenue takes a little faith. s western cuts through koreatown with the kind of energy that doesn't slow down for anyone, but have some coffee at 851 s western ave holds its ground in that current. locally, people know it. that kind of reputation in a neighborhood this dense, this opinionated about where to spend an hour, doesn't come cheap. you don't land on a spot like this by accident, you find it because someone sent you, or because you were paying attention. the coffee here is taken seriously without being made into a performance. if you're in koreatown on a weekday morning, this is the stop before wherever you're going next.
