Yanny's Specialty Coffee

los angeles runs on coffee in a way few cities can match, which means the competition for your loyalty is genuinely fierce. yanny's specialty coffee on south broadway, deep in south l.a., isn't competing for foot traffic from the silver lake crowd or the downtown office rush. it's doing something quieter and more durable: building a following in a neighborhood that specialty coffee has historically overlooked, and doing it well enough that the people who know about it keep coming back. the stretch of broadway around 90037 is working-class, real, and not particularly interested in trends, which makes the shop's reputation here feel more earned than most. if you're heading there, go before noon.
