Curator’s note

The bar belongs to Gabe Venegas, who started in coffee in 2005. The garage lasted a month before permitting closed it, and he spent the eight months it stayed shut working at Hooked in Venice, then opened it again.

The Curated Order
The drink
The Nico

Iced coffee under a barrel aged maple cream top, dusted with cocoa powder.

The coffee

One filter coffee on at a time, beside six house signatures and a matcha with its origin named.

Espresso comes from California roasters a week at a time, most recently an Ethiopia Guji from Provecho in San Diego. Filter is a single origin, one at a time, and it changes with the bag.

The room

The signatures are built rather than flavored: the Nico is iced coffee under a barrel aged maple cream top with cocoa powder, the Scarlett is blood orange and cardamom, the Hampton is vanilla and sage. The matcha gets a card of its own, Kettl's Hinata from Hoshinomura in Yame, a first harvest blend milled in the Fukuoka mountains.
