Obet & Del's Coffee
Curator’s note
The bags go down to farm and varietal (Zambia from Kateshi Coffee Estate, a multi-producer Heirloom lot out of Sidama, a Nyeri washed at around 1,800 masl), and every page claims weekly small-batch roasting, though not one of them prints a roast date. Ask at the bar who roasted what is in your cup.
House espresso, ube, oat milk and housemade oat-condensed milk, shaken over ice or served hot.
The waffle Obet & Del's pairs with its own Filipino Iced Coffee.
The coffee
The retail line runs three single origins, a decaf and a house espresso blend of Kenya and Ethiopia, all at $25 for 12 ounces, with product pages carrying origin, process, roast level, elevation and tasting notes down to estate level on the Zambia. Each page claims weekly small-batch roasting, but none shows a roast date.

The room
High ceilings and exposed brick, curved retro stripes running the walls, wood tables on cushioned seats: a Thai Town room built to hold neighborhood regulars and people who crossed LA for the purple iced coffee. Racing stripes on a wall are not a neutral decision, and the room is better for having made one.
