The Giddyup
Cold brew with house-made vanilla and Topo Chico, served with an espresso on the side.
Ruby Oolong
Curator’s note
Gia Giambalvo and her wife Sarah Girdzius had talked about a shop of their own since their years together at James Coffee, and the call that made it real came from a friend at the barber shop they now share a room with in Bankers Hill. Beside the coffee the board pours a Pony Boy of saffron syrup and grapefruit over mineral water, and a Soy Libre that puts soy sauce, maple and lime into a Coca-Cola.
The Coffee
Pour-over sits beside batch brew by the cup or as a bottomless mug, every milk drink is made with oat milk, and the to-go cup fee goes to the Surfrider Foundation. The tea list runs from a Gold Yunnan and a Ruby Oolong to a ceremonial garden-direct tea served for here only.
The Vibe
Mnemonic hangs a WANTED poster for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid beside a brass shelf of trailing pothos, and the counter is glossy black. One wall is painted deep teal and carries a mirror-mosaic figure and a gold-framed tiger print lettered DRUGS, and a second brass shelf holds the retail bags among toy dinosaurs and a kitchen timer.
