Our Story

Serious about coffee.
Zero snobbery.

We opened on Lark Street in 2014 believing a great coffee shop should welcome everyone, whether you know the origin of your coffee or just want something warm and delicious.

We roast our own beans and sweat the details before you walk in, so you don't have to. Come and stay as long as you like. Relax and enjoy yourself.
