Curator’s note

Weston Nawrocki trained as a chef and a WSET 3 sommelier in Vancouver and Samantha ran marketing for her family's winery in San Diego, and they roasted wholesale only from January 2015 for three years before the flagship cafe opened beside the roaster in June 2018.

The Coffee

Brewed coffee runs until two beside cold brew on tap, and El Gaucho, the espresso blend, runs a Huehuetenango from Los Encinos with a natural Yirgacheffe and a Tolima. The decaf is a natural Sidamo sent to Canada for the Swiss Water process, the tea side runs from a London Fog to a matcha latte, and the chaff from every roast goes back into the family vineyards as compost.

The Vibe

Manzanita's door is a pair, one white and one black, under a corrugated-metal DRINK GOOD COFFEE sign hung on chains, with burlap coffee sacks stacked just inside and ferns hanging from the rafters. A large sepia print of cowgirls in hats hangs over the tables, pothos trails through an iron scrollwork trellis, and a long live-edge communal table runs down the middle with rush-seated chairs.
