Fans get their ‘Gilmore Girls’ on at Luke’s Diner pop-up coffee shops
Good news for fans of the soon-to-be-revived “Gilmore Girls” looking for a Wednesday pick-me-up: Netflix has taken over more than 200 coffee shops nationwide and made them into mini-Luke’s Diners.
To celebrate the 16th anniversary of the “Gilmore Girls” premiere in 2000, the streaming service has refashioned local coffee shops into little pieces of Stars Hollow where fans can hang out and sip a free cup of joe, just like Lorelai and Rory.
Fox Coffee House in Long Beach, as well as the Comoncy locations in Studio City and Beverly Hills all participated in the event that drew massive crowds at 7 a.m.
Los Angeles Times reporter Laura Nelson was on the ground in Studio City to witness the fandom first hand, tweeting her experience with the long line.
While Nelson was eventually forced to abandon her place, she was able to sneak inside to snap photos of the authentic “Gilmore Girls” decor.
