01 — the space

A small room, done properly.

Concrete floor. Plywood counter. White walls and an orange door. There is nothing in here to distract you from what is in the cup, and that is on purpose.

One person behind the bar — that's Jake. He buys the beans, pulls the shots, bakes the cakes and hangs the paintings.

02 — coffee

Funky and wild, mostly.

The board changes constantly. Guest roasters rotate through, the espresso moves with them, and there is always something on filter you have not had before.

04 — the walls

The walls change too.

Painters from around Chester hang here, a few at a time. Everything is for sale, prices sit next to the frames, and the money goes to the painter.
