Curator’s note
Before Blue Bottle, the building had gone from an auto body shop to a Datsun dealership, and the brand opened it with a hundred books on the walls in place of wi-fi.
The Coffee
Blue Bottle roasts its own coffee, refining each batch through daily cuppings, and Night Light, a water-process decaf, is the base of its decaf espresso drinks. Under the board, three of the brand's own drippers sit on glass carafes beside two grinders.
