A major reason why he developed the concept was because of all the turmoil he witnessed in 2020. Just as it was not easy for McCormac to sell the idea of redeveloping Woodbridge’s downtown to some of his constituents. The mayor, a longtime friend of LeGrand and an early backer of the project, had been trying to get people to buy into the vision. For his latest project, LeGrand said he committed to it on July 11.

Additionally, Eric has developed an incredible business and professional acumen, becoming an established entrepreneur, motivational speaker, sports analyst, philanthropist and author. The online shop for LeGrand Coffee House currently features a custom mug and three different types of coffee – Costa Rica, Guatemala and Sumatra. LeGrand Coffee House products are derived of single origin roasts, which means the coffee is sourced from one single producer, crop and region in one country.

Staff serve incredible coffee beans sourced from around the globe and roast them at a site near the cafe. Those who grew up in LA will highly appreciate the LAUSD-esque coffee cake. Sip & Sonder’s original Inglewood location debuted in 2018, and the coffee shop now has a central spot at Macy’s at Westfield Fashion Square, located at 1400 Riverside Drive in Sherman Oaks. There, the staff brews items like rose cardamom latte and vanilla charcoal lattes, along with spritzers and tonics. Sip & Sonder Sherman Oaks operates daily from 10 a.m.

Other beverages include lattes, cappuccinos, espresso, decaf coffee, and teas. In particular, Eric says their most popular drink is the Scarlet Knight, a latte flavored with mocha and chocolate raspberry. But Eric says his favorite drink is a 24-ounce caramel iced latte. Eric wants to inspire people with “a daily cup of bELieve” (capped for his initials); and remind guests to live life to its fullest. He aims for LeGrand Coffee House to be an inclusive place where everyone will feel comfortable; regardless of color, race, size, and disability.

As an African-American man in a wheelchair, Eric knows what it is like to have the odds stacked against you. However, he approaches every single day with a mode of positivity that enables him to accomplish any goal he sets his mind towards achieving. Once he determined that his heart was set on launching his own coffee brand, no disability or pandemic was capable of standing in his way. Many retail stores and coffee shops offer "blends" that are simply a mixture of various beans from different regions and of various flavors. Consistency is an impossibility with this method, and it dramatically reduces the quality of the coffee as well.

Last year LeGrand Coffee House launched as an online business, selling beans to customers in all 50 states, while they worked on the brick and mortar location. Please note that our phoneline is for our coffee shop, and employees do not have status updates or access to online orders. Our Sumatra coffee is a single-origin dark roast with an unique taste that is highlighted by a profile of chocolatey and earthy flavors. Our Costa Rica coffee is a single-origin medium roast with hints of dark chocolate and a sweet, tropical taste. WAFI Coffee is named after the West African Farmers Initiative, a collective of West African farmers who supply the beans for this roving bicycle coffee bar. Co-founder Dennis Garsinii rides all over LA serving espressos and Americanos on a custom bike.

LeGrand Coffee House products are derived of single origin roasts, which means our coffee is sourced from one single producer, crop or region in one country. Long story short, it ensures that you are getting the highest quality coffee that is possible to be produced. Right in the middle of Thai Town is the Black- and Filipino-owned coffee shop Obet & Del’s. One of LA’s best daytime coffee stops is at the Hollywood Bowl. Head up the long driveway, park for free, and look to the left of the box office for South LA Cafe.

A FedEx outlet has also signed on for space at the project. At Bellissimo we believe anyone can open a coffee shop with enough commitment and dedication to learning. The pandemic has hit the coffee industry especially hard, but it’s people like Eric who inspire us and prove that it’s all still possible. We couldn’t be happier for Eric, and can’t wait to see what’s next for LeGrand Coffee House. You can check out the LeGrand Coffee House website here, and follow them on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube. After sustaining a spinal cord injury while playing football for Rutgers University in 2010, he became a motivational speaker, philanthropist, sports analyst and author.

The regional fast-casual chicken tender concept has nine New York locations and three in New Jersey. And judging by who turned out, along with the lines stretched down the block and the early buzz on social media, LeGrand appears well on his way to accomplishing that goal. And in the process, he has helped spark the redevelopment of Woodbridge, the town where he is so beloved. The grand opening drew some of the biggest names in New Jersey politics and athletics, along with community supporters and admirers who were eager to try what LeGrand has dubbed as a daily cup of bELieve. The scam involves processing fraudulent transactions (typically less than a few dollars) on a consumer’s credit card in the name of a business which has no prior or continuing relationship to the scammer or the victim. He said he’ll be working with architects and interior designers “to create the vibe that I’m looking for.” LeGrand said he couldn’t release the physical location of the café just yet.

South LA Cafe owners and South LA natives Joe and Celia Ward-Wallace opened in Exposition Park in 2019. The husband and wife team have announced a second location in the same space as the Kaiser Baldwin Hills-Crenshaw Medical Offices (3782 W. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard), opening in late October. The Crenshaw/Baldwin Hills arm will have a massive outdoor seating area for those seeking medical service, but will undoubtedly attract locals from the adjacent residential neighborhood. Starting October 24, operating hours will be from 7 a.m. LeGrand is confident in the team and staff around him, hoping to create opportunities for young people in the community. He is also hopeful to foster a welcoming and friendly vibe, where people can come together, meet with friends, hold events, and more.

He also works as a Rutgers football analyst on the Scarlet Knights radio broadcasts. All of this from a man who had his first sip of coffee in August 2020. During football season, two televisions will broadcast Rutgers football games. LeGrand’s Rutgers jersey also hangs on the wall of the shop. The coffee house was designed to accommodate people in wheelchairs, just like LeGrand.

Here are 19 exceptional coffee bars in Los Angeles. LeGrand hopes that his company can serve as a vehicle to bring people together and inspire them by providing a Daily Cup of bELieve. As an African American man in a wheelchair, he knows what it is like to have the odds stacked against you. "Our motto is we want to bring unity to the community with a daily cup of believing," LeGrand said. "People have already been inquiring about how they can have different events here so we're excited about that because we just want to bring people together over a cup of coffee."
