Hidden on a CBD side street, this roastery roasts in-house and it shows. The espresso is balanced and syrupy, with a chocolatey base note that holds up beautifully under milk.
Ask about the rotating filter menu — the baristas genuinely enjoy talking you through origin and process, and there’s no attitude about it. I left with a bag of the washed Ethiopian.
It’s a small space that fills with the lunch crowd, so it’s best mid-morning or mid-afternoon if you want a seat to work from.
Renée’s verdict · 4.5 / 5
The financial district’s best espresso, served by people who care.

Ceremonial-grade matcha, a pretty Peranakan-tiled corner, and a soft-serve that converted my matcha-sceptic friend.
