Out of all of LA's neighborhoods, Culver City might be the best to visit if you want to see the modern day coffee shop's evolution. The Conservatory for Coffee, Tea and Cocoa has been a haven for coffee lovers for more than a decade; for something a little more recent, stroll on over to Cognoscenti in the Culver City Arts District and you'll find one of LA's early pop-ups-turned-brick-and-mortars. Then there's Bar Nine, an ultra-modern space that was inspired by a challenge to reimagine the coffee shop experience. We went on a coffee binge in Culver City to find out just how seriously this nabe takes its joe.
