Curator’s note
Pedro Cavaliere, once a personal assistant to A-Trak, built Community Goods with his own hands during lockdown, and it opened just off Melrose in February 2023. It was the first cafe to carry Rocky's matcha, and Rocky's now makes a ceremonial blend for it from Yame, Okumidori among the cultivars.
The Coffee
Head barista Brandon Cho developed the drinks, and the coffee signatures build on double shots, from Vic's Cafe con Leche with condensed milk and cinnamon to an espresso tonic with dried orange peel. Matcha pours as a latte or an americano beside an Uji hojicha latte, and oat, almond and organic whole and fat-free milks cost nothing extra.
The Vibe
Community Goods takes a pale stucco building with wood-framed windows and a yellow sign on its corner, and inside, a timber roof on steel-plated rafters opens to skylights over a concrete-fronted bar with a wood top. Slatted timber shelves of pantry goods stand by the door, and a small tree in a crackle-glazed pot stands on a wood-framed glass case of loaves.
