Curator’s note

Co-founder Leif An is a certified Q-grader who put a white Poursteady on the counter and a commissioned underwater mural eight feet up the wall, placed high on purpose, he says, so regulars don't tire of it. The room went on to win national design awards; the pour-over is why it's here.

The Curated Order

The drink

Pour Over

Single-origin lots from Kenya, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Vietnam, and Colombia, with a Geisha and a decaf on the list.

The food

Breakfast Burrito

Scrambled egg, bacon, hash brown, avocado aioli, and Mexican mix cheese.

The coffee

Roasting is brand-wide on a Probat P12 in a 2,500-square-foot Arts District warehouse, under a founding team of baristas and Q-graders that includes co-founder Leif An, himself Q-grader certified. The shared web store lists eight coffees named to the farm or washing station (down to Ethiopia Bishan Wate's washing station, Guji region and Heirloom varietal), though no product page prints a roast date, only a freshest-available-roast shipping promise.

David Wick of Wick Architecture and Andrew Lindley of LAND Design Studio built these 780 square feet around a commissioned Christy Lee Rogers underwater photograph, printed across the ceiling and fading to white eight feet up the walls, over blue-tone marble, bone-hued tile and rows of Astro Globe lights. Leif An put the picture that high on purpose so regulars would not tire of it, which is a longer view than most build-outs bother to take.

The room

David Wick and Andrew Lindley designed the room around a single commissioned image: a Christy Lee Rogers underwater photograph printed across the ceiling, fading to white as it comes down the walls. Blue-toned marble, bone tile, and rows of Astro Globe lights hold the palette below it.
