Listen up, Los Angeles

Get your asses to Espresso Profeta in Westwood.
I used to live in a neighborhood that had *two* places to get coffee this good within walking distance of my house.
I recently discovered that a fellow displaced Seattleite oepend this place in LaLa land--via another former Seattleite, now at UCLA, who used to babysit Pseudonymous Kid when he was a baby. It's more like 60 miles (1 1/2 hours, with traffic) than my old five minute saunter. But it's worth it.
The first time I stopped by, they'd just closed. But the owner opened the door to sell me some beans; he recognized the longing in my eyes. PK cried, though, because I'd promised to take him to a coffeehouse like the one I took him to all the time when he was a baby. No monkey mural here, or table of toys, but there is a pretty little patio.
Clearly PK and I will be back come the weekend.
