About this shop
What coffee lovers say
A summary of what people say about this shop.
The coffee generally gets good marks, with the espresso drinks and pour-over both called out as standouts. Some people find the coffee itself falls short, even while enjoying other parts of the visit.
What the shop says
In the shop's own words, summarized by us.
They work directly with producers rather than through anonymous trading, paying fair prices and keeping the coffee traceable back to the hands that picked it, through their partner Open Seas Coffee Roasters. The house espresso blend, Halcyon, is a dark roast, while drip and cold brew run on the medium-roast Neptune's Folly; a decaf Colombia is also offered alongside espresso drinks and seasonal specialty drinks.
