We take pride in every aspect involved in presenting you with the best cup of coffee possible. Not only do we roast all our own coffee, but we are meticulous in our selection of green beans. Whether we're buying from South or latin America, Africa or Indonesia or anywhere else in the coffee-growing world, we only buy the finest specialty grade arabica beans. And we always pay prices that ensure farmers receive fair wages for their hard work (we are certifed Fair Trade Coffee Roasters by
TransFairUSA). Once the coffees have been imported to the states, and shipped to our cafe, we work long hours to determine each coffee's optimum roast profile, which we always evaluate in a rigorous coffee-tasting practice called 'cupping'. Coffees are brewed with filtered water and the perfect measurement of freshly ground beans.
Your espresso, cappuccino and latte drinks are likewise made with care and skill. Our baristas are well-trained and have a passion for their work. Certain of our drinks are even adorned with latte art (patterns of milk-foam drawn on the crema of a well-pulled shot of espresso). 
This is a very difficult skill that one is hard-pressed to find in the United States. The milk-foam patterns don't, in themselves, make a drink taste better. But because they can only be created when a barista knows how to perfect each aspect of preparing a drink (milk-foaming, shot-pulling etc.) the latte art gives you a visual assurance that we are committed to quality in each and every cup that we hand over the counter to you.
