Nice Coffee

Nice spent its first years as a beautiful courtyard with coffee in it, and then in 2024 the team started roasting. Four single-origin bags now print farm, producer, village, cultivar, altitude and process, and the Colombia Pink Bourbon carries its lot number and its Auction for Peace reference.

• A single-origin bag worth the price
• Coffee between meetings downtown
• Sitting outside with the roast of the week
• A wine hour after work

Roasting runs on a 15-kilo Mill City machine in Inglewood under head roaster Doug Meils, who came through Intelligentsia, Handsome and Tectonic. Four live single-origin bags ($10 to $26.25) name farm, producer, village, cultivar, altitude and process — the Colombia Pink Bourbon even prints a lot number and its Auction for Peace 2025 reference — though roast dates are not printed anywhere.

Gensler drew the architecture and AIS Industries built the steel, and the room has been open since 2017. It is a courtyard bar rather than a storefront: the counter reads as a built object in an open plaza, not a shop behind glass.
