Meet the
people pouring it.

Three regulars, behind the bar every week. Same hands, same machine, same warm saucer.

Sources our greens twice a year — Ethiopia in spring, Colombia in autumn. Roasts on Thursdays so Friday tastes brightest.

Pastry Lead

Laminates butter for 72 hours. Believes a flat croissant is a moral failing. Cardamom bun is hers.
