Our story
A neighborhood espresso bar, built for slowing down
Velvet Bean Coffee opened its doors because this block needed a place to actually sit — not just grab and go. We roast in small batches, source our beans directly from family farms in Central America and East Africa, and bake every pastry ourselves before sunrise.
Whether you're stopping in for a quick espresso before work or settling in with a latte and a book, we want this to feel like your third place — familiar, warm, and worth the walk.

Velvet Bean feels like an extension of my living room — the espresso is perfect and the pastries make the whole morning better.
