LAMILL COFFEE: GOURMET GLAMOUR

A trip to Silverlake always seems to be a "special occasion" but, really, it's not that far away. When I do visit the Eastside, I try to stop into all my favorite shops. Lamill, the gourmet coffee bar and cafe, is definitely on top of the list. This time I only had the chance to quickly grab an almond latte, but wish I could enjoy the luxurious interior for a bit longer.

The interior is inspired by Glamorous European coffee houses, an eclectic mix of English wallpaper, modern red walls and retro pistachio leather chairs. According to the LA Times review, "The Decor, by Scott Mangan at Rubbish Interiors across the street, practically defines the word eclectic. A hand-painted neoclassical wallpaper mural covers two walls, and an extravagant brass chandelier hangs in the main room. Mid-20th century armchairs are covered in the colorful leathers you'd expect on handbags." It is a beautiful place to relax, meet with friends and savor the morning.
