Yihui Coffee

Order the flight and the same bean comes back three times (as an americano, then under milk, then rebuilt into a signature drink), so what changes between them is the whole exercise rather than a garnish. It is a fussy thing to build a menu around, and this quiet Garvey Avenue storefront builds its whole morning on it.

A multi-roaster bar: Monolith, Lumen, Civil and Tomodachi rotate through the filter list beside a house espresso blend of dried apple, cherry and dark chocolate. The bags on the retail shelf are labelled down to the producer: Edwin Noreña's Caturra from Quindío, co-fermented in mossto.

White walls, a polished concrete floor and a grey banquette, with drinks arriving on stainless trays in ceramics stamped 一慧咖啡. The bar runs its own latte art throwdown (Slayer and Minor Figures put up the prizes for the first anniversary), which is what these baristas do with a slow hour.
