Curator’s note

The Chronic Tonic here is two ounces of espresso muddled with an orange rind and floated over tonic and ice, an orange slice on top. The Crème de la Crème lots come through this roastery, the Nicaragua Pacamara from Finca Idealista macerated with thousands of oranges and shipped in hand-painted sacks that pay for extra jobs at origin.

The Coffee

The single origins rotate as each one lands, a washed Guatemala, Primos Unidos from Huehuetenango, among them, pecan and cocoa under plum and cola.

The Vibe

The building is a former college of beauty, 3,500 square feet with roughly 1,500 of it roastery and the rest a cafe seating about thirty, laid out so the roasting stays in view of the tables. Garage window doors slide up until the patio and the interior read as one room, and the bar is knotty wood paneling under a white wall carrying the company logo in black.
