Coffee That Gets

Better As It Melts

Sixteen-hour

cold brew

Clear ice,
slow melt

Most iced coffee is hot coffee poured over ice. Ours is steeped cold for sixteen hours, then poured over big clear ice that melts slowly, so the last sip tastes like the first. Oat milk is the default, cream is a nod away.

Sixteen Hours, No Shortcuts

Every batch steeps overnight in the back room. If it isn't ready, it doesn't get poured.

Ice Is An Ingredient

We freeze our own clear ice in big blocks, so it melts slowly instead of watering your drink down.

What the regulars say when they think we're not listening.

“I used to think iced coffee was just sad hot coffee. The maple cold brew changed my mind in one sip. I plan my afternoons around it now, which is probably a problem.”
— Maya, King Street regular
“The ice is the thing. My drink still tasted right forty minutes later, which has never happened anywhere else. Also the black sesame latte should be illegal.”
— Dev, works from the long bar
“Calm room, great light, staff who remember your order by the second visit. I came in for one coffee and stayed to finish my whole chapter.”
— Priya, Uptown commuter
