From scratch, every day

There's no freezer shortcut here. Doughs are mixed and proofed in-house, syrups are cooked down by hand, and matcha is whisked to order. It's slower — and you can taste it.

A few of the syrups we make ourselves:

  • Vanilla
  • Caramel
  • Dark chocolate
  • White chocolate
  • Toasted marshmallow
  • Strawberry

Roasted by Metric

Our espresso and drip start with beans roasted by Metric Coffee out of Chicago: clean, dependable, and a good match for house-made syrups and honest milk.

Grabbing coffee to go? We keep bagged beans and canned cold brew on the shelf, next to a small corner of handmade local pottery, books, and finds.
