Go Get Em Tiger
Curator’s note
The coffee here is not in doubt: the company roasts its own in Vernon, and the retail bags name both growers, Worka Chelbessa in Ethiopia and Jaime Munoz in Honduras. The room is the ordinary part, and the only brewed coffee on the Larchmont board is a single-origin filter dialed in daily by batch, which is a lot of championship pedigree pointed at a batch brewer.
A single shot of single origin espresso, the business, next to a shaken almond macadamia cappuccino served cold, the pleasure.
Sliced avocado on sourdough with lemon vinaigrette, aleppo chili flake, and chives.
The coffee
The house roast comes from the company's own Vernon roastery, opened in 2018 on a 15-kilo Mill City machine developed with consultant Scott Rao, and retail bags lead with the grower: Jaime Munoz in Honduras, Melese Wolde and Worka Chelbessa in Ethiopia, all named-producer lots. In the cafe, brewed coffee is a single line, a Single Origin Filter at $5.75, dialed in daily by batch, alongside espresso, cold brew, and a milk-drink list.

The room
The room reads as a deliberate corner shop on a walking street rather than a destination build, and no architect or design studio is credited to it. What Larchmont has instead is a location that works and a breakfast-and-lunch kitchen running behind the bar.
