Dayglow Coffee

Part neighborhood hangout, part subscription service, Dayglow's Silver Lake and West Hollywood locations are havens for serious coffee drinkers and dabblers alike. Owner Tohm Ifergan sources specialty beans from an ever-expanding array of roasters, which translates into a diverse selection of pour-overs with listed tasting notes. The standards here are all well done, but the most unique, standout part of the menu remains the slightly pricey house signature drinks, which take a craft cocktail approach to dispensing caffeine. Drinks made with distilled coffee and cascara (a.k.a. coffee cherries) offer something for those with a lower caffeine tolerance, while a top-shelf "signature series" even makes use of stemware for added flourish. There's also a decent tea selection, caffeine-free options like shrub soda and free wifi—though the limited seating and lack of outlets means it's not the best place to park yourself and your laptop.
