The Roost Latonia

the cold brew here has built a quiet following for a reason, and if you're visiting decoursey avenue for the first time, it's the most honest introduction to what the roost latonia does well. covington's latonia neighborhood sits far enough from the mainstrasse tourist pull that the people who come here are mostly coming on purpose. that counts for something. the regulars keep coming back, which in specialty coffee is a harder metric than any algorithm. you won't find a lot of performance, just coffee that's been thought about. the shop's standing in the community is the kind that accumulates slowly, through consistency rather than hype. come back on a weekday morning when the street is still quiet and order whatever's on the seasonal rotation.
