Cortado Coffee
Curator’s note
Cortado roasts nothing and buys well: Ona, Onyx, Fritz, Perc and Cool Roast Curves each hold their own section of the retail catalog, and pour-over is a printed $5.95 line rather than a favor you have to ask for. Angie Chun's family ran Coffee Code in Buena Park before this, and the instinct carried over: put the roaster's name next to the coffee.
Espresso cut with steamed milk, poured with a choice of medium dark roast or light roast single origin espresso.
The coffee
No in-house roasting: the bar rotates a slate of specialty roasters (Ona, Onyx, Fritz, Perc, Cool Roast Curves) with Pour Over a real $5.95 menu line naming single origins by roaster. Retail bags sold behind those same sections carry name and price only, with no farm, altitude or process printed.
The room
No architect or studio is credited for the room. What this address has instead is the list behind the bar, and croissants baked here every morning.
