Curator’s note

Penny's second room had its grand opening on Saturday, February 1, 2025, on the ground floor of The Orchard, the mixed-use block where Azusa Avenue meets Foothill Boulevard, the old Route 66. Nick Rodriguez, who owns Penny and roasts for it, buys the coffees on a relationship basis, and this room opened four and a half years after his first counter in Glendora.

The Coffee

Two of the pour-overs come from lots Penny also sells by the bag, a Bookissa natural of heirloom varieties from Ethiopia and a washed Bourbon and Typica from San Pedro Yosotatu in Oaxaca, and the bar adds an aerocano and an espresso tonic to the espresso drinks, drip and cold brew. Matcha goes out as a latte, a tonic or a matcha americano, and the decaf is a Colombian Huila taken through the sugar-cane EA process.

The Vibe

The Azusa bar keeps a dedicated Slow Menu of four pour-overs at $7.00–$7.25 next to a full espresso list, run by an owner with roughly 15 years behind LA bars.
