about special guests

you'll notice the room before the coffee: two metal counters, clean and deliberate, one pulling espresso and one devoted entirely to pour-over. paul ross, who won the uk barista championship in 2019 and spent years at origin, kiss the hippo and watchhouse, opened this aybrook street spot in 2022 with a filter menu that runs about twelve single origins at any time. rare panama geshas, experimental lots, coffees pulled from freezer archive for a second run. it's a serious place that doesn't feel serious. ross knows exactly what he's doing here.
