We opted out of fighting the crowds for Black Friday and went to the LA Zoo.  Beforehand we stopped in Silver Lake, aka hipster central, and checked out Intelligentsia.

We ordered a hot chocolate for the kids and a macchiato.

I thought the macchiato had a sour aftertaste, but what do I know?  I do not claim to be a coffee/espresso expert.  The hot chocolate was good—not too sweet, but again, it was a tad sour.  We added some of the hot chocolate to our macchiato and made our own mocha.

It’s all about the name/branding.  That’s why they can charge $7+ for our two drinks and we’ll willingly pay for the experience.
