Curator’s note
Lumen started in Yerevan in 2020, when Shant Ghazar and Artur Lumen Gevorgyan crowdfunded a Giesen W5A roaster by pre-selling 33,000 espressos before they had opened. Ghazar brought it to Highland Park in 2024 as a pop-up at a corner bar, and the pop-up stayed.
The Coffee
Every Lumen coffee runs through sample roasting, cupping and profiling before its production roast, on profiles Shant Ghazar built to match the taste of the company's coffee in Armenia. The bags can be ground for Armenian coffee as well as for espresso, V60 and mokapot.

The Vibe
Breland-Harper rebuilt a corner of a Highland Park parking lot into Lumen's window, faced in 6,000 handmade gold-glazed tiles from Cerámica Suro in Guadalajara, with blue, red and yellow cat-like creatures climbing the walls around the street number. Orders cross a white marble sill in a red steel window frame, and the seats are outside, at orange metal tables and under white umbrellas along a planted side path.
