Description

Hailing from Mexico City, this Orchard Street spot brings a focused coffee program to a modern, light-soaked space. While compact, the layout fits a reasonable number of tables for those looking to stay and work. The brew centers on dark-roast Mexican beans that are roasted locally to produce a rich, chocolatey flavor with a balanced bitterness. Beyond standard espresso, the signature Roma Latte features a hazelnut flavoring thicker than typical syrup, paired with conchas and pastries served by a notably welcoming crew.
