Curator’s note

Sam Bonderov, who has roots in Whittier, took over the Uptown space Lift Coffee Shop had left empty and opened Interlude in late May 2026, meaning to make it a community gathering spot again. The grand opening followed on August 15.

The Coffee

The house signatures run past the namesake latte to a Honey Piloncillo Shaken Latte and the Ode to Uptown, orange syrup with sweetened condensed milk and cream under a dusting of Tajín. The matcha menu stands beside the coffee, traditional, as a latte, with agave or with strawberry, and the chai latte is the house's own.

The Vibe

The shop sits on Greenleaf Avenue in Whittier's Uptown, and Interlude has filled the room with exposed brick hung with plants, black globe pendants and a botanical mural across one wall. The bar front is laid in black-and-white patterned tile under a white-tiled wall of wooden shelves, and the seating runs from a marble-topped counter at the window to a banquette and leather lounge chairs.
