Curator’s note
Steven Torres studied accounting and found specialty coffee while living in Washington, and Gan Suebsarakham, a Thai chef from Khon Kaen, spent nine years with him on Pop Pie Co. and Stella Jean's before they opened this coffee shop in the Adams Avenue space Hawthorn Coffee left in 2025. Little While was born from the little whiles they have spent around the world, and photographs of those places line the wall: streetside cafes, matcha farms, a grandma's backyard.
The Coffee
The espresso and the batch brew are single origins too, the current lots posted at the counter and sold by the bag to take home. The matcha runs to a double latte built on five grams of ceremonial matcha under the house matcha cloud, and the ceremony set comes in a chawan with coconut water on the side.
The Vibe
Little While's front is an orange awning lettered LITTLE WHILE above an orange door at 3019, with dark red tile along its base and white railings fencing a sidewalk bench on either side of the step. Inside, cream tile backs the bar, and an oak shelf topped with a row of blue glazed tile holds boxed kettles.
