Curator’s note

Junia opened on West Gardena Boulevard in August 2025, and two of the people behind it got their start in coffee years back at Hanok, a business they ran with Joe, who is now building moim. In May 2026 moim took over Junia's bar for a Sunday, and the next weekend Steph from Junia's team competed in the April Brewers Cup, a manual-brew competition hosted in Los Angeles by Kumquat.

The Coffee

Ilse Coffee of North Canaan, Connecticut, roasts the house espresso, a washed Colombia Caturra, and a seasonal espresso can stand in for it in any cortado or 1&1. Whole beans come off a wooden wall shelf that rotates through roasters from Los Angeles to Amsterdam, each bag with a card naming its farm and varietal.

The Vibe

Junia Café takes a ground-floor unit of an apartment building on West Gardena Boulevard, behind tall black-framed windows hung with linen curtains (one printed with the shop's name), and a wood ledge runs under the glass with ladder-back chairs and small round tables pulled up to it. Two runs of red-brown wood cabinetry with pale tops face each other across a concrete floor under pendant lamps, with burgundy stools at the front counter and small framed pictures on the white walls.
