Q Specialty Coffee

Q Specialty Coffee roasts green coffee in the shop itself, on a Bellwether zero emission roaster that turns raw beans into a finished roast in about twelve minutes, and bags of whole beans can be roasted fresh to order. The room on California Street is a minimalist space of white walls and warm wood, with a glowing wall logo, a long pale bar and shelves lined with coffee bags.

Behind the counter sit a Modbar espresso system and a Poursteady automated pour over machine, and the single origin beans are sourced from Ethiopia, Colombia, Guatemala, Kenya and beyond. Pastries and Lady M cakes sit alongside the coffee. The cafe opens at seven in the morning and closes at five thirty in the afternoon every day.
