🇺🇸 Ministry of Coffee opens in West Hollywood

Ministry of Coffee has opened a West Hollywood cafe in Los Angeles at 8253 Santa Monica Boulevard, taking over the former Go Get Em Tiger space. The Australia-born operator now has six Los Angeles-area cafes, with espresso made from coffee roasted in Sydney and flown in weekly.

For a west-side coffee stop, the new room is designed as a sit-down neighbourhood cafe rather than a walk-up counter. Expect Ministry's East African signature blend, La Marzocco espresso service and a lighter pastries-and-croissants offer alongside the full Kitchen locations' breakfast and lunch menus.

☕️ Bangkok hosts 2026 World Cup Tasters result

Check dates with the organiser

World Coffee Championships has confirmed Le Quang Cuong (Nicky), representing Vietnam, as the 2026 World Cup Tasters Champion after the Bangkok competition. The event ran May 7-9 at World of Coffee Bangkok, with 46 competitors and a final ranking that also included Catherine Queiroz, Mehmet Sogan, and Mizuki Tagami.

Why it matters: Bangkok is a Filter Notes city, and hosting a major global sensory competition is a useful marker for readers tracking where the specialty coffee calendar is concentrating attention.
