Lofty Coffee Roasting Works

The Colombia on the shelf comes from Alexander Vargas and his son Arley at La Piragua in Huila, a Pink Bourbon lot off a family farm that has reached the Cup of Excellence finals four times. A brunch address does not have to name the farmers on its bag, and this one names them down to the son.

All of it is roasted at this address, off a menu that keeps a manual brew filter category and a seasonal single origin espresso beside the house blend. That blend, Keeping It Classy, is a washed Costa Rica and Guatemala read for dark chocolate and a caramel finish.

Lofty calls this its flagship and describes the room as calm and purposeful, with open work-friendly seating, reliable wifi and space to settle in between plans. Nobody is credited with designing it, which is an odd omission from a brand otherwise happy to explain its own process.
