Opening Report

The creatively minded Gunpowder, described by Eater LA as the wannabe "Starbucks of tea," made its debut today in Venice, California offering tea-drinkers a communal work space complete with swivel chairs, outdoor furniture indoors, and a "wall of toys." The cafe and its "leaf-based lattes" are the brainchild of writer/director Mike Franzini. [Eater LA]
