Manila


This serious coffee shop doubles as a wholesaler of single-origin beans and La Marzocco equipment. It's in a bright, airy space with a roasting area out back and a glassed-in facility for frequent cuppings and coffee workshops. Brewed coffee is steam pumped and there's a simple blackboard menu of pasta, waffles and rice bowls.
