Five brew methods on the bar, retail beans with tasting notes on every bag, and an owner who explains what he's making. The food menu has two items for a reason.

What we love

  • Retail beans with full tasting notes on every bag
  • Food minimal by design: croissants and cold drinks only
  • Owner-run; the person serving explains what they're making if you want to know
