Curator’s note

Rose Park soft-opened its third room on Ocean Boulevard on June 11, 2021, a call Nathan Tourtellotte had made back in January of that year, with the pandemic still going on, because the company felt good about its bandwidth. The grab-and-go line it opened with was designed by Melissa Ortiz, formerly head chef at the U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan.

The Coffee

Ocean Boulevard pours espresso and brewed coffee with no pour-over, and the green comes through Cafe Imports, Red Fox and InterAmerican at two to five times the Fair Trade standard. Three blends, El Espresso, Catalina in the Haze and The Breakwater, sit beside the single origins with a Decaf Colombia Huila, and the free weekly bicycle delivery across Long Beach that the company began with still runs.

The Vibe

Ruthi Daugherty of RAD the Studio brought the Cooper Arms' own exterior colors inside: the bar front is fluted and salmon pink under a pale blue top, the ceiling above it is peach, and three white globe pendants hang on black rods over the counter. Behind the bar a diamond-checkered tile wall in two grays runs up to the shelves, and the pastry case closes the counter's far end.
