Coffee for Sasquatch has an irrefutably memorable name, and a very cute space to match. As for the location? Well that sets it apart. The most general term you could get away with would be “Melrose” but it’s not really on the part of Melrose one typically thinks of (the WeHo part or even the Fairfax part). And it’s off La Brea but also not in the part of La Brea one typically thinks of. Not quite north enough to be Hollywood, not quite east enough to be Hancock Park. But that’s kind of the value prop.

Coffee for Sasquatch was a welcome addition to the neighborhood when it popped up in 2017, a cool kid cafe in an otherwise lacking few blocks. The cafe itself hits all the right notes. Custom tarrazzo benches. Green accents. A highly instagrammable sasquatch on the wall. Cute enough design to attract people to go out of their way to stop by, with everything you can ask for in a neighborhood cafe. They have all the coffee and tea basics and more, every alternate milk you could possibly need, ample seating and free wifi for working. 

Now, they’ve opened a location in New York, in a very central Broome Street block of Nolita.
