Curator’s note

Eric Scott's Golden State also consults for new cafes, from layout and menus to water filtration and espresso equipment, and Pilgrim's in Fullerton pours its Winchester and 1850 Espresso blends. Small groups learn the French press, the Chemex and the V60 in its classes.

The Coffee

The single origins rotate through the pour-over, the drip and the retail shelf, and the rotation keeps room for an anaerobic, lately El Jardín from Honduras. Behind the bar a single-origin espresso, a natural from Papua New Guinea in fall 2026, runs beside the house blend.

The Vibe

The room is exposed brick under a wood-beam ceiling, with Spanish-style archways, live-edge tabletops and enough floor that customers book it for portrait sittings and the shop still runs holiday pop-ups in the spare space. A classroom sits beside the roasting room, which explains what all that square footage was actually for.
