Curator’s note

Noriel Bermudez named the shop for a hallway, a corridor of doors where everyone meets in a common space, and he and Christine opened it in fall 2019 because Lomita had gone without a family-friendly independent hangout since Awakenings closed in 2010. When the 2020 shutdown came they sold coffee by the half-gallon and gave it away to hospitals, grocery stores, fire departments and police stations.

The Coffee

The beans are now their own, roasted per order, and the specials are house-invented: a cereal latte, a calamansi tonic, ube matcha and four Sylvanias, original, ube, Oreo and coffee. The shop also trains baristas and consults on opening coffee shops.

The Vibe

The Bermudezes took an old auto shop opposite Lomita Elementary and fitted it as a lounge: couches, a carpeted playpen for children, study areas and a mini plant store at the side. The paid coworking room, CoFlow 2.0, holds six single phone booths and a double, five wall-mounted sit-stand desks and fiber internet, and OVERFLOW, the couple's studio and event space, is next door.
