Deus Ex Machina
The Emporium of Postmodern Activities
1001 Venice Boulevard, Venice, CA 90291, USA
Darkened and crispy on the outside. Chewy and delicious on the inside. Welcome to the Emporium of Postmodern Activities. Deus Ex Machina’s latest addition to its global ground fleet of marvel outlets is proudly located in Venice, CA—one of the most vibrant hubs of surf, bicycle, and motorcycle culture on planet Earth.
Featuring in-house custom built motorcycles, hand-shaped and hand-glassed surfboards from the Temple of Enthusiasm in Bali, clothing and artwork designed at the House of Simple Pleasures in Camperdown, Sydney, and brewcraft from downtown Los Angeles coffee disciples, Handsome Coffee Roasters, the gas station turned flower shop turned Deus Ex Machina depository draws from its grand vessel of world flavors and stands at the ready to astonish and serve its new citizenry.
