Curator’s note

The Chronic Tonic, two ounces of espresso muddled with orange rind over tonic and ice, has cost $4.20 for about ten years, on purpose. The 2026 Halloween shirt carries eight Vigilante heads from Mummylante to Wolfilante by the Hyattsville artist Walmazan, who drew a Vigilante cup in 2016 and cut it again in linocut in 2026.

The Coffee

Single-origin releases come out one at a time, and the Crème de la Crème line holds the experiments, a Nicaragua Pacamara from Finca Idealista macerated with thousands of oranges and roasted super light among them.

The Vibe

Vigilante's Vista room runs pale green walls down to a green floor, the bar long against the back wall under linear pendants, with a skateboard deck lit by a sconce over wood shelves of cups and plants and a vine climbing the corner. Posters hang over the pour-over station, a VOTE sign sits beside the cup shelves, and a green umbrella stands out front.
