Coffee Bean hosted the South West Regional Barista Competition on March 5, 2011. I had the chance to check out the continuation of Round 1 at Siren Studios in Hollywood. Baristas were set in front of a panel of judges. Competitors created creative mixtures of coffee drinks — the baristas battled it out.
During the competition, free goody bags were given out ($5 dollar gift card to Coffee Bean). Also, Lake Street Creamery and Buttermilk truck were there to satisfy hungry spectators. Other non-competing baristas were there to make cappuccinos and serve drinks as well. All in all, it was a successful event. Check them out Sunday, March 6, 2011 for Round 2.
(Buttermilk Truck Post will come shortly. In the mean time, check out the video of the competition.)
