A slew of coffee folks got their start here, and their café/roaster in a 1920s auto row building still offers free public cuppings of their single-origin coffees, a friendly, no-pressure introduction to tasting that takes you through the company's bean selection and roasting process." [7] Amber Ambrose included the East Pike Street cafe on Eater 's 2014 list of "The 38 Essential Coffee Shops Across America".
