Vintage NoHo Depot Now a Coffee House | NBC Southern California

Waiting for your sight while sipping a crater of joe? It’s as normal as acid out a window chair for your rail float or seeking for an additional strike of divert for your coffee.

It’s flattering standard, in short, to find a libation kiosk or cart, a kind of place readymade for fueling adult pre-trip, nearby your platform. But to find it in a building that’s existed within 3 centuries, one that had clearly seen brighter days in a past, is rather some-more unusual.

There’s a happy ending, or, rather, beginning, for a Lankershim Depot in North Hollywood, that now houses Groundwork Coffee, a Venice Beach-started beans-and-more business.

Commuters and neighbors and travelers know this building, that didn’t continue a years too well. There’ve been utterly a few years to weather, too, as a structure was assembled usually a few years before a emergence of a 20th century.

As for a complicated reconstruction, that can usually be described as major? Metro “completed a $3.6 replacement of a Lankershim Depot, a purebred State Historic Landmark Building, in 2014.” 

That was a few years back, yes, though due to work on a walking hovel joining dual lines — a Red and a Orange — a repository had to wait on a commencement of a subsequent chapter.

That section strictly starts on Friday, Feb. 17 when Groundwork Coffee opens inside a large building. It’s open 12 hours a day, from 6 in a morning by to 6 during night, and if you’ve already grabbed a latte there, well, we enjoyed a coffee house’s soothing opening.

There’s some-more to come in terms of growth for a site, a bustling 15.6-acre area that sees copiousness of feet trade any day, as people lurch for their train, or conduct home, or, as of Feb. 17, stop to sip a macchiato in a landmark depot, a North Hollywood landmark that’s endured a decades and emerged with a fresh, piping-hot future.
