Editors note : Perhaps this might be an idea for the Ridgewood Train station
Train Station Coffee Bar : ‘Dumb Starbucks’ Shop Appears in L.A.’s Los Feliz

There’s no word on who’s behind the project, but there’s a line for free coffee and pastries purchased from Vons.
The Los Feliz coffee scene has a new attention-getting entrant, though all bets are off on how long it sticks around.
Dumb Starbucks Coffee, which parodies the design of a coffee giant chain store, appeared out of seemingly nowhere over the weekend as a pop-up store in a nondescript Hillhurst Ave. location.
All of the coffee, brewed by two baristas, is free (tips appreciated). They also have pastries (apparently purchased from Vons) that are also free for the taking for now. Alongside a non-functioning cash register, CD’s like “Dumb Nora Jones Duets” [sic] and “Dumb Jazz Standards” are stocked.
And there is a reasonably long line — dozens of people — waiting for a novelty brew on Sunday.
