about calico coffee

you notice the filter bar first, hand-built and low, the kind of thing someone who trained as an architect would obsess over. junchao jonny huang did exactly that before placing third at the 2023 uk brewers cup and opening calico on lower marsh near waterloo. dark wood, soft light, no wasted gestures. huang roasts some of the coffee himself, sources his own green, and still brings in guest roasters when it makes sense. every drink comes with an origin card. considered without being precious about it.
