Our two shops
Come find your seat.
Mid-City and MacArthur Park, each with its own weather. Same beans, same people, different light. Both open early, both walkable, both yours.
Mid-City
Our flagship, in a converted industrial space with high ceilings and that famous soft LA light. Ample seating, a hidden garden patio out back, and Convi, our sandwich shop, right next door. Street parking is usually easy on Mansfield.

MacArthur Park
An intimate room steps from the historic park, built around a long communal walnut bar. Made for a quick espresso before the commute or a slow hour with a book. Classic, resilient, and full of life, like the neighborhood.
