Our coffee
Roasted in small batches, poured with care.
We source beans from growers we know and roast them a few pounds at a time on Tuesdays and Fridays, so every cup tastes the way it should. No rushing, no shortcuts, just good coffee served by people who love it.

Roasts Tuesdays and Fridays. Keeps the log by hand. Will talk about Guji for as long as you let him.
Theo

Three-time city latte art finalist. Teaches Tuesdays. Patient with wobbly tulips.
Good to know
Questions we get every day
Is there parking?
Free street parking on Larkspur Lane and the lot behind the pharmacy next door after 9am. Bike racks are out front.
Can I work here on a laptop?
Yes, the long table and the window seats are laptop-friendly all day, with outlets under the bench. On weekends we ask people to keep it to the back room after 10am so families can find a table.
Are dogs allowed?
On the patio, always. Inside, well-behaved small dogs are welcome. There is a water bowl by the door and a jar of treats on the counter.
Do you do catering or coffee for meetings?
Yes. Boxes of batch brew for 8 or 12, pastry trays and a portable pour-over bar for events. Give us a day's notice for boxes and a week for events. Call (555) 018-2274.
Do you sell gift cards?
At the counter in any amount, or digital ones we email to the person for you. They never expire.
What about allergies?
Our kitchen handles nuts, dairy, eggs and wheat. The granola bowl and the avocado toast can be made without cross-contact if you tell us first; the pastries cannot.
