"These guys are actually based in Santa Cruz, but they recently expanded into Los Angeles with two locations—on Spring Street in the Arts District and, most recently, on Melrose in West Hollywood.

Verve also practices direct trade with the farmers who source their coffee beans—an important (and very difficult to execute) practice that allows them to exceed fair-trade minimums when they pay farmers for their goods."
