Here are a few photos of the Southern California classic coffee shop Pann's, in all its glory. This coffee shop was saved by the L.A. Conservancy's Modern Committee from the wrecking ball and is now a fine example of the coffee shop architecture that was once quite prevalent in the mid-century. See more of Pann's at Roadside Peek's Coffee Shops Southern California.
Ships is an institution among the classic coffee shops. However, unfortunately the last Ships went down in the mid-90's. From the jetset arrow to googie coffee shop architecture, the various Ships Coffee Shops were classic examples of the space age look.
A classic googie coffee shop was the Wichstand Patio in Los Angeles. When this site was at risk of being razed over by a bulldozer, the Los Angeles Conservancy's Modern Committee stepped in, and through its efforts, saved the structure.
Here's an old former site of a Tiny Naylors off La Cienega Boulevard in Los Angeles.
