Come Closer
to the Source.
Green beans from Huehuetenango and Yirgacheffe, cracking and caramelizing in a cast-iron drum you can watch from the sidewalk. Come in. We already know your order.

This month's beans
Grown somewhere specific.
Roasted here.
We source two origins at a time. When they're gone, they're gone. The next lot ships from the farm the week after next roast day.
Huehuetenango
Guatemala
$18 / $32
250g · 500g
"Grown on small family plots in the Cuchumatanes highlands. The dry mountain air and cool nights slow the ripening — you taste it in the cup."
Yirgacheffe
Ethiopia
$20 / $36
250g · 500g
"From the birthplace of coffee. Natural-processed and sun-dried on raised beds. Floral and fruit-forward — the kind of cup that makes you stop mid-sip."

I started checking the roast date on every bag I buy anywhere. Roast ruined me for pre-ground. I mean that as the highest compliment.

Morning regular, Tuesday & Thursday
The Yirgacheffe we carry at the café sells out by Saturday noon. Every single week. Our regulars ask for it by name now.

I dial in my Kalita on Sunday mornings with a fresh bag from here. It's the most reliable 45 minutes of my week.

Home brewer, pour-over
Came to the cupping not knowing what "breaking the crust" meant. Left with two bags and a new Saturday ritual.

Neighbor, first-time visitor
The roaster explained the difference between washed and natural process in three sentences. I've been trying to understand that for two years.
Daniel K.
Weekend home brewer
I walk past the shop every morning. On roast days the smell alone is worth the commute.
