rōk Coffee and Tea

The house talks about the art of the daily ritual, and here the ritual can stretch out on a covered deck set with green perforated chairs under string lights.

The matcha is ceremonial grade from Uji, Japan, first-harvest and stone-ground. Coffee ranges from an americano and a cappuccino to a Spanish latte and cold brew, with decaf on request.

The coffee side saves its invention for cream-capped signatures, like a lotus einspänner with Biscoff crumbles and a chestnut latte under roasted almonds and crushed praline. The Cafe Duo treats espresso the way the house treats matcha, with the shot streaking down the sides of the cup.

Inside, a timber slat ceiling hangs over a grey plaster bar, and lounge seats cluster under a white-blossom tree.
