Two ristretto shots, equal part steamed milk. Our default order and the best way to taste the La Esperanza.
The coffee bar
Four espresso offerings, three filter methods, and a pastry case that empties by noon. Prices include tax — tips are split with the whole bar.

Prices incl. tax
Two ristretto shots, equal part steamed milk. Our default order and the best way to taste the La Esperanza.
Silky microfoam over a double shot, served in a 6 oz ceramic. Built to be drunk in three sips at the bar.
House brown-sugar syrup, double shot, whole milk. Sweet but not dessert — the one flavoured drink we stand behind.
Nyeri AA over tonic, orange peel and a rosemary sprig. Sharp, bubbly, and the reason our patio fills up in July.
Hand-poured to order, 1:16, 93°C. Ask what's open — there are always two bags cracked behind the bar.
La Esperanza, brewed every 40 minutes. Bottomless if you're staying, $1 refill if you're not.
Steeped 18 hours, served over a single clear cube. Cocoa, fig, and almost no acidity.
Sugarcane-decaffeinated, so it still tastes like coffee. Available as pour-over or as the second half of your afternoon.
Roasted green tea whisked with oat milk. Toasty, low-caffeine, and the drink our regulars switch to at 4pm.
Black tea steeped with cardamom, ginger and black pepper, then milked. Made in-house every morning, never from syrup.
Coffee-cherry tisane, lemon, and soda. Tastes like hibiscus and dried fig — the least coffee-like thing we make.
Laminated, knotted, and rolled in crushed cardamom sugar. Baked at 5am; sold out by 11 most Saturdays.
Wholemeal, nutty, and barely sweet. Comes with a spoon of salted honey butter if you ask nicely.
Lemon zest, good olive oil, a crack of sea salt. Gluten-free and better than it has any right to be.
Focaccia, soft-scrambled eggs, chives, chilli oil. Served until 2pm and genuinely enough for lunch.
Nothing in that category today — try the espresso bar.
On the seasonal board
Eighteen-hour cold brew, a spoon of Vermont maple, oat milk, and a pinch of alder-smoked salt on top. Sweet, savoury, and only around until the rain stops being novel.
