Curator’s note

Geoffrey and Deanna Martinez had roasted and wholesaled coffee in Compton for years before they opened this Alameda Street storefront in May 2018 and named it Patria, homeland. Geoffrey wanted a business that helps make Compton a better community, with a staff that looks like the people it serves.

The Coffee

Patria roasts on a Probat Burns, and the bar pours espresso, Americano, cappuccino, drip and flash brew, plus a cafe con leche and a cortadito of equal parts espresso and steamed milk sweetened with simple syrup. Lattes come flavored with cafe de olla or Mocha Ibarra among others, any drink can go decaf or half-caf, and the decaf beans are a washed Mexico Altura from Chiapas and Oaxaca.

The Vibe

SideStudio designed the shop and roastery as one 950-square-foot room behind a white storefront lettered PATRIA COFFEE over the number 108, its glass front lettered loose leaf tea and freshly baked pastries. Inside, the white block walls are hung close with photographs and paintings, a ledge with stools runs along the window under a wire-cage pendant and hanging plants, a pine shelf by the door holds board games, and the red drum roaster stands in its own corner with a laptop on a steel table beside it.
