Wait, another coffeeshop in the hood, really? Isn’t Silver Lake already a cliche of cafe/juice bar/yoga studio/repeat? I swear this one is different. And while I might mock, I am an active participant and happy imbiber of coffee, juice and yoga. My friend Julia and I happened to be driving down Glendale Boulevard one rainy weekend when we spotted a crowd outside the newly opened Mugshot. Never one to shy away from a party (with or without invitation extended), we decided to crash this one. I’m happy to report we were warmly accepted by the crowd of mainly friends and co-workers of the owners of this very neighborhood feeling establishment. Not overrun by hipsters (at least not yet), this cafe felt old school…Silver Lake/Echo Park circa 1995…on a strip of Glendale Blvd. that can actually use a new coffeeshop. The beans are roasted onsite, and my cortado was dy-no-mite!
