Un Caffè

Un Caffè is a small roastery cafe in Midtown on Milam Street, where the beans are roasted on site and the baristas are trained to a high standard. The shop grew out of its owner's long study of coffee, and his SCA certifications hang quietly on the wall.

Bags of single origin coffees and espresso blends are sold at the counter and online, including the HeavyWeight espresso blend of Colombian, Ethiopian and Brazilian coffees with notes of dark chocolate, strawberry and vanilla. The aim is friendly baristas, ethical and sustainable sourcing and a place where neighbors gather, and the bar has seating for lingering over a cup. It is open every day from seven in the morning to six in the evening.
