Come for coffee.
Stay for the house.

Most people stop for a lechero and leave with a vintage find, a photo session on the calendar, or another hour at the picnic tables. That's the whole idea.

Iced matcha latte
01

The coffee bar

A house espresso blend, condensed-milk lecheros, honey-and-cinnamon miel lattes and an Earl Grey matcha regulars keep reordering.

02

The thrift

Racks of hand-picked pieces right next to your table. Browse while your drink is made, or come in just to dig.

The studio

A photo studio on site, plus the bus and the yard as a backdrop. Book a session and bring your coffee.

Inside the house

Pull up a seat.
Spill the tea.

White walls, black frames, a neon that says what we're all here for, and a Southwestern Bell payphone with a tiny red bus parked on top. Bring a friend and lose track of time. People usually stay anywhere from fifteen minutes to an hour and a half.

Every review says the same thing about the staff: friendly, welcoming, and the coffee is worth the drive.

Out back

The yard.

Shade trees, black picnic tables, hay bales and a red VW bus that has become everyone's photo spot. Some nights it's a stage.
