El Idolo Blend
Acento blends three coffees from Central America and Africa.
Curator’s note
Luis is Mexican-Gringo, and Acento roasts coffee from all over with its focus on Mexico, next door, where it is easier to buy direct from the fincas. On the shelf that means Patlanalan in Puebla, his own favorite, processed at APG's wet mill, and Finca Fatima in Coatepec, Veracruz, a Marsellesa grown by the same suppliers.
The Coffee
Acento roasts its own and keeps a lineup of espresso options, so the drinker picks the bean. Alma Oscura takes one of the house coffees in rotation to a full-city roast, and the decaf is a sugarcane-process Colombia.

The Vibe
Acento's Rosecrans storefront is tan stucco with the name over the glass doors and palms out front, and inside, white walls under a dropped ceiling meet a bar faced in a patchwork of wood pieces, the bean shelf built into its end. Behind the bar the wall is lettered in Spanish, coffee for the things that can be changed and mezcal to accept the rest, beside a mural of a Scottie riding a motorcycle through a wave, and the stools and tables on the concrete floor are orange.
