There's an App for LA Coffee: LA's Best Coffee

Coffee in LA has exploded over the past five years. You used to have to go out of your way to get a decent cup. Now, a new third wave espresso bar with a 45 minute pour over seems to open every week.

The good news is there's now an iphone app that helps you find the best third wave coffee near where you are in LA. The mapping function works well, and the best thing about it is it's all wheat and no chaff. The people who made this app clearly have high standards for coffee as all of the places listed are great third wave coffee bars, so if you're a fan of this style of coffee, there's little risk of disappointment or need to sort through reviews.

The app is made by Blue Crow Media and costs $.99.
