Curator’s note

Juliette Simpkins left therapy work at a mental hospital for a Behmor roaster, YouTube and The Coffee Roaster's Companion, then spent three years of pop-ups with Trevor Moisen before the shop opened in the summer of 2017. In January 2025 Omar Pacheco took it over, and Robby Hainley, from Steelhead, roasts for the house.

The Coffee

Pour-over is on the board beside drip, espresso and cold brew, and the signature side runs a Whiskey Vanilla Latte of espresso, vanilla and bourbon extract, a Cafe con Cola of espresso, Mexican cola and half and half, and an espresso tonic. Public cuppings run weekly, the matcha is ceremonial grade, and the sodas are Hainley's own, an Earl Grey cream soda and a lychee rose spritz among them.

The Vibe

Juliette Simpkins designed the room at Black Ring: a long speckled-stone counter with a bar of black stools behind it along a white wall under a wood ledge, and kraft bags of the roast on two wood shelves beside a trailing plant. The lot behind the building takes picnic tables and umbrellas under a red brick wall strung with lights.
