Las
Capucas
Washed honey-process beans from the cloud forests above La Paz. Slow medium roast — round, deeply sweet, a long dried-fruit finish.
A small-batch roastery on Greene Avenue, slow-brewing single-origin beans since 2014. Hand-poured, served warm, open from dawn until the slow hours.
A rotating cast of single-origin pours and a quiet house blend — chosen each morning by the bar, roasted within the week, gone by Sunday.

Coffee, made slow, is a translation. Green beans become smoke, become liquid, become a quiet moment at the bar. Three rooms, three rituals — and somewhere between them, a cup.
We source unroasted green coffee directly from small-lot farmers across Ethiopia, Honduras, and Colombia. Each lot is hand-picked, sun-dried on raised beds, and tasted at origin before it reaches Brooklyn.
Twelve farms. One handshake at a time. No middlemen, no shortcuts.
We roast in a 6kg Probat drum, in batches small enough that every bean is listened to. The first crack arrives around the eleventh minute. The room smells of caramel and cocoa. We pull the roast by sound and by smoke.
No software, no presets. A nose, two ears, a stopwatch.
At the bar, the beans rest for at least 72 hours before they're ground. Espresso is pulled at 9 bars over 28 seconds. Pour-overs are bloomed for 40, then poured in slow concentric circles.
Each cup is a translation of the same green bean — read aloud, slowly.
