Description

What started as a promise to Ethiopian farmer Dukale has grown into a venture rooted in fairly traded, organic coffee that funds healthcare, education, and housing in coffee-farming communities. Beyond the mission, the space pairs modern design with abundant indoor and outdoor seating, anchored by a giant screen displaying quotes. The counter serves everything from precise flat whites to specialties like the Oat Milk Date Shake Latte—a blend of dates, oat milk, and double espresso—accompanied by fresh options from a Slate food menu.
