Chic new coffee spot run by people who take coffee really seriously (and actually trained some of the baristas at Coffee Movement!). The storefront is easy to miss -- it looks like you're about to walk into the private patio of an apartment building -- so you can either enter through the cute clothing/artisan goods shop, or walk through the open gate leading into a patio seating area. Beautiful garden and great place to enjoy your coffee on a warm day. Not a lot of seating on the inside, just a handful of counter seats for people with "Slow Bar" orders. They have their signature menu (black filter coffee, matcha, teas, lattes...etc.) and they also have their "slow bar" menu, aka the pourover menu. We came to try their brew of some Yunnan coffee, since it's rare to find Chinese beans. The Yunnan is the "black" coffee on their Signature menu, and it was pretty solid. We separately tried the Granja Paraiso 92 Wush Wush, which was one of the slow bar options for the day. I believe they switch up the Slow Bar menu pretty frequently. We enjoyed chatting with Yang and his partner about their process: what minerals they add into the water, what kind of water they use, brewing time...etc. Lots of cool gadgets they got in there. The Wush Wush had good acidity to it and tasted pretty clean, but we wished more of the stonefruit/pear notes were brought out. Wouldn't drive the hour across the bridge just to come here, but will probably be our new go-to coffee spot whenever we're in East Bay to try out more of their brews! read more
