Smoky Hollow's espresso blend.

Curator’s note
Dale Inghram, the voice of the Bravo network and of 32 Super Bowl commercials, was having a cup at Blue Butterfly Coffee on Main Street when he asked the owner whether she would sell, and she had listed it the week before. He kept Blue Butterfly, and in March 2019 he and Toni Inghram opened Smoky Hollow, named for the pocket of El Segundo where smoke from the early-1900s Standard Oil refinery used to settle.
The Coffee
Smoky Hollow roasts for its two El Segundo cafes and for every bean Blue Butterfly pours, and the shelf runs three lines: blends, single origins and a Reserve. The decaf is a single origin, and La Primera is the blend for cold brew.

The Vibe
The whole shop is one 1,700-square-foot room where the bar and the roastery share the floor, a Probat P12/2 out in the open with bar stools pulled up facing it. The 2019 build-out put the espresso system under the counter on a Mavam, which leaves the roaster as the thing the room is arranged around.
