Today’s #Firstpour and #firstsip was me treating myself ahead of service @hooked.venice to a pour over of @provechocoffee ’s Mexico, Oaxaca, Sierra Mixteca. 🥰
Dark chocolate, Kumquat, and blackberry deliciousness. 🤤

Just some guys at a game.
So much of my fatherhood has been centered around providing for and furnishing experiences I never had growing up. It definitely takes a village to make it all possible. I am very grateful to so many for making this memorable evening happen. For this particular occasion I had the help of @coachjayhernandez , @gtroutman14 , @maximilian.kleber , and @gabevenegas_ . Thank you all for being so kind to my boys and I.
We got to see one of the GOATS play with his son, witness a good battle with the Brooklyn Nets, Luka drop 41, geek with some fellow coffee nerds (GT & Maxi on the floor), and walk and talk about some legends around their statues afterward in the plaza.
One of the best nights of my life.
💚🥰💚
Today, I had the honor of meeting a coffee legend:
Since I started my coffee journey, Nicely was my source of truth for what made a great barista. I would spend hours dissecting his latte art videos trying to replicate his distinct style. Moreover, Nicely’s loyalty to his craft, and his insistence on making a real career out of being a barista, showed me a new layer of service.
Watching Nicely work his way through a line today @hooked.venice was a masterclass in finesse.
@nicely85 from the coffee community, we appreciate you. Here’s to another 25 years✊
New drink @hooked.venice !
“When Leslie Gives You Lemons”
*Encouraging you to read this aloud.*
A liptonesque sweet tea like lip licking coffee elixir made with an oleo saccharum of sweet meyer lemons from my friend Leslie’s backyard with a dehydrated lemon and a clapped mint garnish.
@leslienuescastudio 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you @jo_anuh / @pr.m.ry.essence / @pr.m.ry for the beautiful dehydrated lemons. Your influence and motivation for this special cannot be overstated. ¡Te amo! 💚
Who’s ready for coffee time? 🤗
Our A1 since day 1 @nicely85 just had a couple wheelie nice days!!! And we’re not talking the Super Bowl or even Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl, even though that was epic!!!
Nicely recently got his son a new @blackopsbike 29er Wheelie Bike for Christmas, we’d forgot to post the photo, because it was a surprise, and then life happened. But then Seattle won the Super Tazon, Bad Bunny performed, and Nicely decided to get a wheelie bike for himself, to do night missions with his son!!!
That green @brooksengland on his @blackopsbike was purchased @orange20bikes many many years ago, when he moved to LA.
Everyone wish @nicely85 and son a very happy #allezLAnewbikeday !!!
If y’all didn’t know, @nicely85 does an outstanding coffee program @hooked.venice and @flo.coffeebar , if y’all riding west, make sure and stop in!!! Do a BANG 💥 BANG ‼️ ☕️
Did you have your dose of chocolate today? My dedication to a tasty coffee and chocolate situation has always been an homage to my love for the Pacific Northwest. 🥰 #MochaMonday #GoSeaHawks
Thank you @ernesto.sernas for the photo assist. 💙💚💙💚
