Since 2016

We make coffee.
That's it.

No journey. No passion narrative. Just a bunch of down-to-earth people roasting small batches and pouring them for their neighbors.

How we got here.

2016

One espresso cart outside a bakery in Oakland.

2018

We took over a corner shop in Rockridge.

2020

Bought a Loring and started roasting our own.

2023

Buying green straight from producers we know.

2026

Six shops, one roastery, zero corporate energy.

"If we wouldn't drink it every morning, we don't sell it."
— Curtis St roasters

🌱

We buy direct, pay fair, and name the farmers.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑

Good coffee starts with people who love making it.

🔥

Small batches, dialed daily on the Loring.

Every shop belongs to its block first.
