Curator’s note

Nathan Tourtellotte and Andrew Phillips, a roaster out of Kean Coffee, set out in 2009 to roast for home brewers across Long Beach, and the company still holds that the ideal cup is the one brewed at home, with its shops in service of that. Its list of values opens on living in process and paying living wages and closes on using kind words and being honest.

The Coffee

Rose Park roasts at Seventh and Cherry on Tuesdays and ships on Wednesdays, and it brews its drip in batches in place of a pour-over bar, the format Andrew Phillips prefers in a cafe for its consistency. The green is paid for at two to five times the Fair Trade standard, and a Decaf Colombia Huila sits on the retail line.

The Vibe

Camp Design built this room out end to end (concept, custom furniture, custom lighting, signage and the hand lettering), including the “Welcome to the Process” wall that Rose Park liked enough to make the design theme of its next two shops. A tagline painted on a wall in 2014 that later told two more rooms what to look like is a decent argument for getting the first one right.
