Andante Coffee Roasters

Andante roasts its own in Koreatown, and at this counter it lands as rotating single origins named by country and no further — lately Guatemala, lately Brazil. A shop can sell coffee by origin and still stop short of the farm that grew it; three rooms in, Andante stops there every time.

• pour-over
• beans to take home
• coffee to go
• downtown mornings

Andante roasts its own, off-site in Koreatown, and the pour-overs tied to this address have been Guatemala and Brazil — named by country and no further.

Curlett and Beelman drew this building in 1924 as an eight-story parking garage — one of the first in America, and one of the few parking garages on the National Register. A ten-million-dollar conversion turned the floors above into 49 lofts, and the coffee counter holds the street level.
