Seven Syllables Coffee
Curator’s note
There is a neat circle in this one: the Cerritos bar that first put Aquilo behind an espresso machine now buys its coffee from him. Everything Seven Syllables pours it roasts itself, and the house sauces are built in the shop too, down to the ube macapuno and the buko pandan.
Double espresso, steamed milk, and a house made bourbon caramel sauce.
Creamy ricotta cheese and house made strawberry jam on Hey Brother Baker's brioche, topped with honey.
The coffee
They roast their own and ship the week's coffee every Monday, though the published detail stops at country and region: the current Rōnin single origin is a Peru from San Jose de Lourdes, with no varietal or roast date printed.
- Rōnin Espresso
- Decaf Colombia
- Sugarcane decaffeination process (Ethyl Acetate Process)
The room
Pour-over holds a year-round spot on the board next to a house espresso blend they roast themselves, and the signature drinks run on sauces made in house down to the ube macapuno and the buko pandan.
