Curator’s note

Before coffee Andrés Piñeros was a musician and a graphic designer. The Grey Store opened in early 2018 in a part of Culver City shaped by film, design and creative work.

The Coffee

La Roca, a Sidra from Planadas in Tolima, is poured by the cup. The matcha is a single-origin ceremonial grade from hand-picked leaves in the hills of Shizuoka.

The Vibe

In the Grey Store, a cluster of glass pendants hangs at different heights over the front tables and a crystal chandelier sits by the glass doors, with leather sofas gathered below. The bar runs down the right-hand wall to the street, and outside SPECIALTY COFFEE ROASTERY runs across the fascia above a hanging sign at Suite 101.
