Smoking Tiger Coffee & Bread

smoking tiger coffee & bread makes bread that actually matters. not the stuff that comes wrapped in plastic, but loaves with character and weight. you can smell the yeast and flour working together from the parking lot on imperial highway. the coffee holds its own too, which isn't always guaranteed when a place splits focus between beans and baking. here in brea, that combination feels right. the espresso cuts through morning fog while fresh sourdough waits on cooling racks. both take time to do properly. both reward patience. come for the nine grain on tuesday mornings.
