time to Choke
September 15th, 2007My favorite place to get espresso in Los Angeles might now have to be Jeff Johnsen’s Choke in East Hollywood.
Intelli barista Ryan dragged me there for the first time yesterday as I’m long overdue in making the pilgrimage. The place is absolutely beautiful and if you have any desire towards scooters, mopeds, or small motorcycles there is much here to inspire. Jeff’s a great guy and his Seattle-honed barista skills are top knotch. The shots he pulled us (pausing from a bike repair) were sweet and thick. Why did I wait so long to check this place out?
Choke is located at 4157 Normal Ave - about half a mile from Sunset Junction and open Tuesday through Saturday 10-7.
