Curator’s note

Lofty put its matcha and its Cloudy to a vote across every cafe in August 2026, and matcha won by nearly two to one, which earned it double loyalty points for a month. The same board runs at every Lofty cafe, so State Street gets the fall drinks and the gluten-free strawberry tart, flaky pie crust under strawberry jam, vanilla glaze and sprinkles, on the day they launch.

The Coffee

Keeping It Classy, a washed Costa Rica and Guatemala blend, is the house espresso, and a drip is brewed fresh every day at each cafe.

The Vibe

Outdoor tables, wi-fi that holds up and an open welcome for families put this closer to a neighborhood porch than a tasting bar. Doors open at seven every day and close by three on weekdays, four at the weekend, so whatever else this is, it is a morning room.
