Mango Sticky
Fresh mango puree and a house-made coconut sauce, with a choice of matcha or espresso.
Curator’s note
Patti and Jesse met while working their first coffee job, and Lontra, the shop they own together, now pours in two rooms: the Wells Fargo Building in DTLA and this one on 2nd Avenue in Upland. Connecting through coffee is the motto, and Lontra runs latte art classes in milk steaming and pouring.
The Coffee
Guest roasters rotate through the espresso, Mad Lab Coffee Roasters of Los Angeles among them, and the shots are pulled on a La Marzocco. A chalkboard on the counter names the origin of each coffee on espresso, pour-over, drip and cold brew.

The Vibe
Lontra's Upland shop is red brick out front, its name in raised letters between gooseneck lamps, with wood-slat tables on a patio behind a black metal railing. Inside, wood-backed stools stand on a concrete floor at a wood-topped bar faced in black slats, and the wall behind it carries a band of dark green tile with a fan relief.
