Curator’s note
Andrew Sinclair opened Mad Lab's Hollywood shop in 2020, mid-pandemic, because the neighborhood still deserved to be served, taking over a spot that had poured specialty coffee to Hollywood for almost 20 years. His case for a small space is that nobody orders and disappears: there is nowhere to go while the drink is made, and people sit down on Sunset Boulevard with their cups, criss-cross applesauce.
The Coffee
Mad Lab's Hollywood window pulls espresso and pours a Cup O' Coffee, and pour-over comes in two tiers, an Everyday cup and a Rare one. The signature board beside them turns over with the seasons.

The Vibe
There is no room indoors at Mad Lab's Hollywood stand, a mint-green kiosk of vertical slats under a black awning lettered COFFEE TO GO, with MADLAB spelled down a mint pillar and the skeleton sign above, sipping from a mug while it leans on a roaster. Mint-painted brick runs down one side, and out on the Sunset sidewalk red chairs pull up to slatted wooden tables.
