History

Established in 2000.

The Coffee Connection was established in the year 2000 on the location of the former Bruno's Ristorante, a landmark Italian restaurant on the Los Angeles Westside. Much of the original Baroque architecture remains, including the tawny stained glass windows which cast a warm glow into the cafe; the brick archways and 'water-wall' with ferns and fountain which frames the outdoor yet private gated courtyard; and the vaulted ceilings and marble colonnades of our adjacent performing arts auditorium.

Manager

I have had a true passion for coffee all my life. Coffee has been my favorite ice cream flavor, my favorite drink, and my favorite beverage to craft. Once I learned the intricacies of coffee -- how it grows, how it roasts, how it transforms from bean to grind to drip -- I knew I could do more than just enjoy it, so I began to serve and eventually manage. I strive to buy the most responsible products and serve them at a reasonable price((:
