Curator’s note
The name splices Kumquat and Loquat together, and AJ Kim carried the plan for eight years before it opened in 2025: one Glassell Park compound holding a central roastery, a retail space, a coffee bar, an outdoor seating area and a coffee omakase room. Its job inside the group is to take the back-of-house load off the cafes, so their guests get better space and more of the staff's focus.
The Coffee
Quat buys close to the farms: it is El Pergamino's exclusive US partner, and its winning bids at Finca Sophia's 2026 private auction include HH1, the farm's only honey-processed Heritage Geisha that year, at $5,030 a kilo. AJ Kim, a Best of Panama international judge, leads cuppings in the compound's Cupping Lab, and the ceremonial matcha on the cafe side is Saison Tea's Kikunoshiro.

The Vibe
Quat is a compound of white rooms with concrete floors and glass partitions, and the Cupping Lab is one long wooden table laid with rows of cupping bowls. Atelier Q pairs a pour-over counter of grey stone on a base of rough, dark rock with a light wood bar and bentwood chairs, and outside there is an expansive patio.
