In L.A., where civility at Starbucks and other venues is being obliterated in a cacophony of cell phone abuse, it is worth noting that at least one coffee house, Santa Monica's funky Velocity Cafe at 2127 Lincoln Boulevard, is taking a stand. Tent cards on the tables politely request that you "PLEASE TAKE PHONE CALLS OUTSIDE," a custom that used to be routine at Starbucks. If you're coming off the westbound 10, go left onto Lincoln; Velocity is on the east side of the street a couple of blocks south of Pico.
