Chapter IA place for both
Good coffee takes time. So does a good book. So we made room for both.
A roaster humming away behind the counter, shelves worth getting lost in, and a seat with your name on it for as long as you like.
Freshly roasted. Slowly read.
A roastery behind the counter, a bookshop along the walls, and no rush at all.
Chapter IIThe roast
From green bean to your cup, right here.

Stage 01 / 05
Green
Dense, grassy and full of potential. Nothing like coffee yet.
Stage 02 / 05
Drying
The beans lose their moisture and turn the colour of straw. The shop starts to smell like a bakery.
Stage 03 / 05
First crack
A pop like popcorn. The papery skin flies off, sugars caramelise and the flavours we’re after begin to show.
Stage 04 / 05
Development
The roaster’s call. A few seconds either way changes the cup completely.
Stage 05 / 05
Rest
Into the cooling tray, then a few days’ rest before it meets the grinder.
Chapter IIIThe shelves

A small bookshop that punches above its weight. Browse with a cup in hand, then ask us for a recommendation.

Find a corner, settle in, and let the smell of the roaster do the rest.
