Curator’s note

Bryan Choi founded Ondo and owns it with Calvin Jung, and his line at the soft opening was that intentions matter. Every coffee is meant to show a different expression of origin, variety and process, from geshas to co-ferments such as a Fruit Loops Geisha fermented 120 hours with chopped lemongrass leaves.

The Coffee

Ondo's matcha is Rocky's Matcha, a single-cultivar Yabukita from Shizuoka. The decaf on the shelf is Quiet Stars, a Colombia Popayan.

The Vibe

Ondo's Heliotrope storefront is a tan brick front with white ornament at the cornice and the name in cream letters inside a tiled frame, over a navy awning lettered COFFEE, TEA, PASTRIES. Below it the shopfront is painted the same navy, with 710 over the door, a bench in each window bay, globe lights under the awning, white steel security gates folded back against the walls and white bistro tables on the sidewalk.
