LOAM

LOAM opened on Gloucester Road with a coral pink storefront that's hard to miss against the rest of the street, drawing a steady crowd who come as much for the hand brewed filter menu as the retail side. A rotating lineup of guest roasters fills the pourover list, poured by baristas happy to walk newcomers through whatever's on offer that week.

Beyond the counter, shelves stock retail beans, brewing kit, cups, and homewares for anyone looking to build out their setup at home. Weekends draw the biggest crowds and a queue out the door isn't unusual, though the wait tends to be worth it once a seat by the window opens up.
