Kumquat Coffee

“Kumquat is nerdy in the best way. Key word obsessive - if you don't appreciate above and beyond coffee then just stick to lala land, you'll be happier there. They source beans from a dozen different roasters worldwide, syrups directly from farms across the US, and garden-direct tea from Asia. It's the kind of intentionality that makes my importer heart sing. They've also launched a sister spot called Loquat in Cypress Park that's all about direct trade and Cup of Excellence-grade coffees. When I say they take sourcing seriously, I mean seriously. Think of it like a wine bar with a killer by-the-glass list from producers you've never heard of but immediately want to know everything about.”

“for the fact it’s hidden and you’ll feel cool knowing it exists”

“There’s peanut butter in their coffee… enough said.”
