Ritual Coffee Roasters Valencia

Ritual's Valencia Street cafe is where the company began in 2005, a former furniture store on the south end of the Valencia corridor. It was remodeled in 2013 into a bright, airy room the team likens to a coffee church, with gardens out front and parklets built like sunken ships, and it remains the company's guiding light.

The address now trades as Ritual Coffee + General Store, selling goods from small local businesses alongside the coffee bar and the roaster's own bags. The coffee is roasted at the company's Howard Street roastery, a former door hardware factory with a vintage German Probat roaster. The cafe opens at six thirty every day and closes at seven from Monday to Thursday and at eight from Friday to Sunday.
