We work directly with smallholder growers in Yirgacheffe and Sidamo, roasting in small batches a few times a week. Our baristas are trained in both the espresso bar and the traditional ceremony — because we think a city café can hold both.
In a traditional ceremony, the same beans are brewed three times, each round a little lighter and a little gentler than the last. We use the same idea to structure how we brew, serve, and pace your visit.
Freshly roasted beans, ground moments before brewing. Bold, concentrated, served to set the tone — this is the cup that wakes the room up.
Same grounds, hot water added again. Softer, rounder, meant for lingering — most of our regulars order their second cup exactly here.
Light, gentle, and traditionally the cup of good fortune. We pour it on the house for anyone who's stayed for all three rounds.
Master coffee production, roasting, latte art, and more. Hands‑on sessions led by industry professionals.
