One roaster, two coffees, an eighteen day rule and a grinder that gets dialled three times a day. What actually makes a café cup taste good.

One plate, six years, three cooks and about forty thousand orders. The story of the dish that will not come off the menu.

A practical guide to the fastest good thing at each counter, by time of day, plus the two moves that skip the line entirely.

The bench starts at 4:40 am and the case is fullest in the first two hours. Order ahead or walk in and have a look.
Sample pricing. Pickup is ready in 8 to 12 minutes at all three cafés.
