According to a recently-filed ABC application, Equator Coffees will soon open its second LA location at 456 North Fairfax Avenue, the former home of Chef Jared Simon’s Taco Vega.
The company’s maiden LA operation resides in Culver City at Ivy Station, an exciting, 500,000-square-foot mixed-use development adjacent to the Los Angeles Metro Expo Line station.
Co-founder Helen Russell says the incoming outpost should be open within the next two weeks.
What’s more, Russell tells What Now Los Angeles that Equator plans to continue expanding throughout The City of Angels.
Russell and Brooke McDonnell created Equator Coffees in 1995 in a Marin County garage. Founded on the basis that “coffee can be a force for good,” Equator has become a high-impact coffee company focused on quality, sustainability, and social responsibility – roasted better, brewed better, and sourced better.
With nine cafes and counting, “Equator was named after the region where coffee grows but has come to mean so much more than that,” explains its website. “It’s the path around the planet that connects us all. As we tread that path from bean to sip, we try to make everything we touch better. Because we believe drinking good coffee leads to good things.”
