I
recently heard about this Harry Potter themed Coffee shop, now I'm not a
coffee drinker but I am a HUGE Harry Potter fan and so is my buddy
Brian so we decided to take a field trip to downtown Los Angeles and
visit this place. It's called Nimbus Coffee and it's located at
1115
S Hope St. in Downtown LA. It's not exactly Harry Potter but it's Harry
Potter adjacent, I assume that's why it hasn't' been shut down yet.
When you walk in your definitely get a Harry Potter feel.
They
have these fun portraits of Celebrities crossed with Harry Potter
Characters, such as the Half Blood "Prince" and it's a picture of the
singer Prince via Snape. We also had Mariah LeStrange who is of course Mariah
Carey mixed with Bellatrix LeStange and finally Albus Freeman, which is
a protrait of Morgan Freeman ala Albus Dumbledore.
Lots
of magical looking things all around the place, like wands, luggage and
wizard looking posters. They had a wall that looks like a newspaper
(ala Daily Prophet) with TV's build in so it looks like moving images.
They had several lounging places with cool chairs along with wooden
tables and chairs. And in the back they have a wall of wands which seems
to be the Instagram photo spot.
As
for their drinks, like I said I'm not a big coffee person but Brian
tried several of there drinks I can't remember the names of them but
they too were Harry Potter themed. We also had a piece of very tasty
lemon poppy bread. All were very good and very sugary. The staff was great, there were tons of other Harry Potter fans, some
dressed up in robes and such. It's a small place and it was packed but
never felt crammed. It does close fairly early, be aware of that... It's not a place I would go to all the time (like I do with Hogsmeade) but if I'm in the area I'd stop on by again.
