Curator’s note

A company called Stereoscope gave its second cafe a stereoscopic ceiling, an underwater photograph by Christy Lee Rogers called The Reunion of Cathryn Carrie and Jean, printed so it reads with or without 3D glasses. Leif An made sure the image would not overwhelm people as they walk in.

The Coffee

A white Poursteady brews the light-roasted single origins here three cones at a time, ground on a white Mahlkönig EK43S, and a La Marzocco KB90 handles espresso. The menu runs on to cortados, Kyoto cold brew and lattes made with house syrups.

The Vibe

David Wick of Wick Architecture worked with Andrew Lindley of LAND Design Studio to fit 780 square feet into an L under a 15-foot ceiling. Below it the counter is blue-toned marble polished enough to mirror the baristas, the back wall is stacked bone-colored tile, white globe lights hang on long black rods, and light oak shelving runs along the room.
