01
The Room
Exposed brick, oak counters and a corner full of soft old armchairs. It took two years to get the room right, and we still move the chairs around.
Coffee, Roasted
In House
Two friends, one secondhand roaster and a small room on Alder Street. That is how this place started back in 2018.

Three Things We Care About
02
The Roast
The roaster lives in the back where everyone can see it. Small batches on Tuesdays and Fridays, nothing on the shelf past fourteen days.
03
The Cup
Every drink gets dialed in twice a day, once at open and once after lunch. If a shot tastes off, say so and we will pull it again.
Our Roaster
A twelve kilo drum rescued from a closed shop in Dayton. It runs twice a week and you can watch it from the bar.
The Drip Bar
Chemex, V60 and a batch brewer that never sits empty before nine. Single origin, rotated every Monday.
Fresh Bakes
The oven goes on at five in the morning. Croissants, banana bread and a seeded sourdough that sells out most days.
Beans To Go
Take home anything we roast, ground however you like it. Punch the loyalty card twice and the third drip is on us.

on Alder Street
The corner table catches the morning light and the stool at the bar talks back. Come take whichever one is free. First refill on drip is always ours to buy.

Nights Worth Staying For
Cupping Sundays
First Sunday of the month, 10 am
We brew the new roasts side by side and everyone votes on what makes the spring menu. It is free and the room smells incredible.
Latte Art Throwdown
Last Friday night, after close
Ten pours, one winner. The prize is a bag of beans and bragging rights for the month. Sign up with any barista.
Open Mic Thursdays
One Thursday a month, from 7 pm
We push the tables back and let the room take over. Acoustic only, the neighbors have our number.
