Curator’s note
The Bay Area chain opened its second Santa Monica cafe here, downtown, in October 2021, with face masks required on opening day.
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. Its board sets Bella Donovan as the blend beside the single origin.
