Coffee & Connections: Bahala's Neighborhood Gathering
Look, we know you're already addicted to coffee. But at Bahala, we're serving up something even more essential: a genuine slice of neighborhood life.
At Bahala, we're on a mission to break down the invisible walls that divide our daily lives, starting on the Westside. Here, your morning coffee run could spark a conversation with a neighbor you've seen but never met, or evolve into an impromptu chat about local events or shared interests.
We've created a warm, inviting space where the lines between work, leisure, and community naturally blur. It's a place where freelancers, remote workers, local business owners, and residents come together, finding common ground.
Bahala isn't about forced networking or manufactured quirkiness. It's about genuine connections and the simple pleasure of being part of a community.
So join us, grab a drink at Elabrew (or bring your own) and rediscover the joy of spontaneous, real-world interactions. At Bahala, we're brewing community, one conversation at a time.
Location instructions:
GPS to the Colorado Center, 2450 Broadway, Santa Monica. You can park underground ($2.89/12 minutes, or $34 for the day) and walk up to the ground level area. There's also metered parking on the street that's more affordable. There's bike parking in the garage as well.
We’ll be sitting at the big outdoor seating area by the giant pitcher fountain. Elabrew is on the south side of the courtyard if you wanna grab a drink first.
There's no set agenda, so you can arrive and leave any time in the time window. We just ask that you fill out a survey before leaving to help us improve and gauge interest for future events.
