Curator’s note

Roscoe Aquilo started as a barista to pay for college and never climbed out of the rabbit hole once he learned that coffee beans are seeds from a bright red cherry. He and Tim Hasta roasted for wholesale and for Trustfall, a subscription of one bag they were excited about, before there was a storefront, and Bakers & Baristas in Cerritos, where Aquilo had worked bar since its opening day, became one of the biggest accounts.

The Coffee

Seven Syllables names the origin of its batch coffee on the board, a drip brewed in batches and served until 11am and an 18-hour cold brew on nitro tap, and the decaf is a Colombia Huila taken down by the sugarcane process. Past the milk drinks sit a Calamansi Espresso Tonic of double espresso, Fever-Tree tonic water and fresh-squeezed calamansi, and an Espresso Mule on ginger beer with no alcohol in it.

The Vibe

Seven Syllables is one glass-fronted unit in a strip mall on Artesia Boulevard, with COFFEE ROASTERS boxed on the fascia over the door and the dotted wordmark, se·ven syl·la·bles cof·fee, on the glass. Inside, the board is black strips of white lettering on a white wall, the bar is stainless under a white stone top, and a black steel shelf holds the retail boxes under a row of coffee books, with two boxed Chemexes and a burlap sack on its bottom tier.
