One thing about me is I love coffee. I also love trying new coffee spots. So while I am in Los Angeles I have decided to try as many different coffee places as I can, and my recent discovery was Silverback Coffee of Rwanda located in Echo Park. 

I had a very pleasant visit to Silverback Coffee of Rwanda! The menu is extensive with many options for coffee, teas, and snacks. Since I couldn't decide I asked the server for a recommendation and he suggested the Vanilla Oat Nitro Cold Brew, which I am now also recommending. It was the perfect drink for me, refreshing cold coffee on a hot day, not too sweet, and quite unique.

Founded by Jack Karuletwa, Silverback Coffee of Rwanda is not like just any other coffee shop, they have a deep mission and personal story. "Jack's vision and mission for SILVERBACK COFFEE OF RWANDA™ is very straightforward - help the poorest coffee farmers realize their value, empower the human resources that make it possible for every Rwandan to become a part of a global economy, and celebrate the power of the human spirit everyday - with a cup of coffee in hand!"

This coffee shop is also conveniently located around the corner from Echo Park's Farmer's Market which happens every Friday and you can read about it in <a href="https://topcityspots.com/blog/los-angeles-farmers-markets">this blog post</a>. So if you don't have plans next Friday, why not go for a coffee at Silverback and a walk through the Farmer's Market?
