Intelligentsia Coffee has opened a new Santa Monica coffeebar at 3010 Pico Blvd., introducing a drive-through format to the neighborhood. The original A-Frame building has been preserved, and the business has been built with the design in mind for a unique experience with the coffee shop. 

The location features a drive-through lane, a walk-up ordering window, and a spacious outdoor patio, offering multiple service options designed to accommodate customers on the go as well as those looking to linger.

Company officials said the space was planned to blend into the surrounding community while providing a streamlined experience for daily coffee runs.

The menu includes the brand’s signature espresso drinks and matcha beverages, along with rotating seasonal selections. Guests can also order all-day food items, as well as specialty treats for children and dogs.

A grand opening celebration is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 28. The first 50 guests will receive special gifts, according to the coffee company’s social media post.
