Est. 2019 · Single batch · Late hours

Coffee brewed
after hours.

We roast six days a week in a converted warehouse on the east side — slow, small, and by smell. The cafe stays open until midnight because that is when coffee finally makes sense.

412 Kiln Street,
East Warehouse District.

The cafe is tucked between a record store and a boxing gym — look for the copper awning and the steam. We have twelve seats inside, a bench outside, and a 1962 La Marzocco that runs most of the day.

Parking — There’s free street parking after 6 PM, and a public lot one block east on Foundry Avenue. Two covered bike racks out front.

The founder

Elena roasts the way her grandfather did.

Elena Vargas grew up in Quindío, Colombia, where her grandfather roasted his own beans in a pan over a wood fire every Sunday morning. She moved to the States at nineteen, worked ten years on the bar at three of the country’s best shops, and finally bought her own 12-kilo Probat in 2019.

She still roasts every batch herself. She still calls her grandfather on Sundays to talk about it. The cafe opened in 2021; the midnight hours came later, at the request of a regular who worked the graveyard shift at the hospital.
