Newport Hipsters Paralyzed

Categories: Main

Yes, it's true. Even Balboa Peninsula's ultimate ennui establishment has been forced to close its doors.

Alta Coffee, home of stunning baristas, live music, freshly brewed coffee and - as written about in Best of OC 2005 - a damn fine vanilla soy chai latte, is closed this hazy Monday.

What could force me into Starbucks, with its alluring T-mobile hotspots and sickly-sentimental soundtrack for the Starbucks-sponsored movie playing in the background? What could cripple the Alta?

According to the sign on the front, "WE'RE OUT OF LATINOS!"

What's closed around you folks?
