Curator’s note

Nick Rodriguez spent some fifteen years behind LA coffee bars, Rose Park Roasters, Paramount Coffee Project and Steelhead among them, before he opened Penny as one of the ten original tenants of Glendora Public Market on September 26, 2020. He is also Head of Coffee at Colossus Bread, the bakery his wife Kristin Colazas Rodriguez founded, and Penny roasts for both of its stores.

The Coffee

Beside the pour-overs, the Glendora bar pours espresso, cortado, flat white and a single-origin drip, and a slow list of loose teas runs from osmanthus to honey orchid. The decaf is a Huila of Caturra, Castillo and Colombia varieties, decaffeinated by the sugar-cane EA process.

The Vibe

Penny's Glendora counter is white, lit from recessed lights, with a peach wall behind it painted in a sage-green mountain line. To the right stands Frank, the shop's black San Franciscan roaster, beside a stack of burlap coffee sacks.
