Oakland's Blue Bottle Coffee is on an expansion tear in southern California: Yesterday, Eater LA confirmed that the cultishly beloved brand will open its third Los Angeles cafe, and today, another rumor surfaced that Blue Bottle signed an additional lease for a cafe the Echo Park neighborhood. The new locations don't exactly come as a surprise: Upon securing an additional $25.75 million in funding four months ago, the newly cash-flush brand announced expansion plans for LA, Tokyo, and New York.
