Curator’s note

Nine coffees on the shelf named to producer, process and varietal (Linarco Rodriguez's honey Geisha, a washed Pink Bourbon out of La Esperanza), and all of it is one person's work. Four years from a first roast to a Geisha with the grower's name on it is quick going.

The Curated Order
The drink
Cardamom Latte

Espresso with handmade cardamom syrup, velvety and subtly sweet, served hot or iced.

The food
Nori Everything Bagel

A 72 hour fermented sourdough bagel from Mustard's Bagels, topped with nori, black sesame, and white sesame, schmear on the side.

The coffee

Mejia roasts every bean himself on a 3-kilo Mill City in his garage, with a Honduras San Vicente focus and eight single origins listed by producer alongside the Extinction Burst espresso blend.

The room

Bevel's first walls are a former photography studio on Allen Avenue that came through the Eaton Fire standing: a long 600 square feet of white walls behind a window front painted with the scarlet macaw. Kevin Mejia put the seating on a bench along the wall instead of shrinking the bar, his arithmetic for fitting the most neighbors into a room that made it through.
