Half Rex Full Nelson: DRINKS: Ritual Coffee Roasters

Contributing HRFN Writer: MIKE H. (Los Angeles, CA)

There comes a time, as dramatic and brilliantly ostentatious as this may sound, when you always remember your “first.” First, kiss. First, car. First, time you truly appreciate the awe of a—latte. And I kid you not, there is nothing more gut-wrenching than when you are sorely disappointed to discover that the latte you just ordered is watery and not-cute (think bad date but worse). But fear not Half Rex Full Nelson readers; nothing redeems a bad date more than an immodest, sweaty make-out sesh with the hottie beseiged with the “bad boy” persona, i.e. Ritual Coffee Roasters.

I know. Does bougie lattes scream “bad boy”? Let’s be honest—not really. But everlasting addiction, a la Ritual Coffee, not only screams it, but in fact it resonates it into your soul. Creamy. Thick. Warm. Wait, am I still talking about lattes?

So Half Rex Full Nelson readers, you must make the travel to Northern California to satiate whatever your yearnings may be with a Ritual Coffee latte. Or for you, Los Angelinos who refuse to leave, rumor has it that Bru in Los Feliz serves Ritual Coffee. And trust me, I can confirm those rumors.
