Curator’s note

Aharon Vaknin made his first cup of coffee at eight, in Tel Aviv, and was working as a general contractor in Los Angeles when a trip to Boquete, Panama, in 2013 sat him beside Willem Boot on the drive in and put his first Panama Geisha in front of him. Weekly roasting sessions at Boot's campus followed, and the Charleville shop opened in September 2014.

The Coffee

Espresso pulls on Bravo, an organic blend of South American, Indonesian and African coffees, Movito goes into the Turkish coffee, the cold brew and the nitro, and the pour-overs are brewed on a Hario V60 02. Some of the green comes from Gibran Covarrubias of Ensembles Coffee in Veracruz, Mexico, alongside other Mexican microlots.

The Vibe

The space was a dark concrete shell, sloped and without a gas line, when Vaknin converted it into a roastery and bar on a side street just west of South Beverly Drive. In 2017 the dividing wall came down so the roaster works inside the cafe, and in 2018 the tables and chairs moved outside while he built wooden counters along the windows by hand.
