Tryst with tea continues...Intelligentsia - Venice Coffee and Tea Bar

Located in Venice, Los Angeles  on Abbot Kinney Boulevard, the Intelligentsia Coffee and Tea bar is supposed to be LA's crown jewel of the coffeebar. 

Appearances can be deceptive...we were disappointed with our experience. Unfriendly barista and their attitude spoke volumes of arrogance.
Unfortunately, my tryst with tea and Intelligentsia was nothing less than disappointing.
