In their words

The story

A collective of farmers and food-makers sharing a kitchen is, if I'm honest, a more interesting premise than another café with nice lighting. They roast their own coffee, bake the sourdough, churn the coconut ice cream, and mill the matcha — all in-house. Whether all of it is done equally well is a question worth asking; roasting your own coffee is a real commitment, and it does suggest someone there is paying attention to what ends up in the cup. Worth knowing: they're closed Monday and Tuesday, and doors shut at 2 PM the rest of the week. The 4.7 across a reasonable number of reviews is encouraging, though the most useful thing is just to go and taste it.

We are a collective of farmers and food-makers, sharing a kitchen and creating a cafe together. We roast our own coffee, bake sourdough bread, churn coconut ice cream, and mill fresh match all in-house. Come hang with us. :)
