Curator’s note

In October 2026 the roasters at Roasting Works pulled extra chairs up to the cupping table for loyalty members, spoons and all. On two August mornings that year local makers filled the lot under yellow canopies for a market.

The Coffee

The Colombia Luminosa V2 from the Vargas family's La Piragua in Huila comes washed and natural from the same harvest, and the cold brew goes out as a single-origin nitro.

The Vibe

Lofty calls this its flagship and describes the room as calm and purposeful, with open work-friendly seating, reliable wifi and space to settle in between plans. Nobody is credited with designing it, which is an odd omission from a brand otherwise happy to explain its own process.
