Check-ins
Come here for
Rotating guest-roaster espresso; seasonal single-origin pour-over
Whichever of Demitasse, Stereoscope, or Prospect is currently on the bar. The roaster rotates, the format (straight espresso or pour-over) doesn't.
Pastry from Bakers Kneaded
From East LA bakery Bakers Kneaded, which supplies the case.
Curator’s note
Annie Choi edited television in post-production (Project Runway, The Real World) before she walked into Demitasse Coffee Roasters' Santa Monica shop as an intern in 2013 and made general manager within about four months. In February 2015 she opened Found in Eagle Rock, which had no specialty coffee shop of its own, as a room where people could write, meet and come back as regulars.
The Coffee
Peri Coffee in Altadena was Found's roasting partner for its first eight years, through the end of 2022, and Ventura's Prospect Coffee Roasters now pours here on a regular basis. The tea comes from Three Gems Tea and Tahmina Tea.
The Vibe
Choi designed the room herself inside a 1,108-square-foot storefront in a 1920s auto body shop, going for what she called vintage plus modern: white walls, light gray counters, medium wood shelving, peacock green metal chairs and a dahlia-yellow La Marzocco GB5 at the center of the bar. Most of the dishes, vases and small fixtures were thrifted, in keeping with the name, and floor-to-ceiling storefront windows keep the long rectangle bright while the walls hang work by California artists.
