Curator’s note
Gacia Tachejian grew up in Tarzana and spent years in psychology and clinical research at UCLA, and graduate school in New York brought her to specialty coffee, then to a roaster in her garage and a cart she took to farmers markets and weddings. During COVID, with hospital work taking a heavy toll, she rewrote the business plan three times, and in January 2022 she and two business partners opened Laidrey's first shop and roastery here.
The Coffee
The roaster here is a black-and-gold Probat P5, and the shop holds public cuppings. Laidrey buys from female-led farms and from farms that pay equitably, and the decaf is a Colombia decaffeinated by the sugarcane process.

The Vibe
Tachejian took the room's cue from Indonesian cafes, and the Tarzana flagship sets a concrete floor against a bar faced in weathered wood planks and navy walls lined with wooden shelves of coffee bags and plants. Tall windows wrap the corner over a long cushioned banquette, black bentwood chairs pull up to white marble-topped tables, and wooden folding chairs and tables sit out on the sidewalk.
