Curator’s note

Säero went from pop-ups, the first in Montrose in May 2025, to its first café downtown. The counter centerpiece is the work of Julio and Caesar, a father and son, and the espresso mugs are made by hand in the studio of Jumie Ceramics, an LA artist.

The Coffee

The matcha is first harvest, bought directly from generational farmers in Japan, and it goes into a latte, a matcha einspänner and a ddalgi matcha einspänner. Hojicha runs beside it, and the syrups, cream tops and signature milk bases are made in house.

The Vibe

Saero sits on South Spring Street in the historic core, where the older building stock does some of the work for a careful tenant. Ten months in, the bar and the room are both young enough to still be changing shape.
