Betty Hallock recently reported on the Daily Dish blog that coffee-loving Pasadenians are rejoicing over the forthcoming arrival of a new Intelligentsia Coffee & Tea outlet, the third in the Los Angeles area.

Design fans know that Intelligentsia coffeehouses have style as strong as their espresso, and this one surely will follow suit. Ana Henton of Mass Architecture & Design, who designed the Venice outlet, will be tackling the new site (exact location to be announced). Their Sunset Junction spot was designed by Barbara Bestor of Bestor Architecture.

Mass Architecture & Design quickly became one of the hottest restaurant design outfits in town. Based in Silver Lake -- across from an early client, Silver Lake Wine -- the firm has left its stamp on the distinctive eatery spaces all around town, including Corkbar, Bacaro and Breadbar.

For a look at some of Mass Architecture’s other projects, go to the jump.
