Los Angeles roaster from the Kumquat founders, roasting in Cypress Park and Brea.
AJ Kim and Scott Sohn opened Loquat in August 2022 on Cypress Avenue, their second Los Angeles café after the multi-roaster Kumquat. A Diedrich IR-7 roasts at the café, and a Loring S15 at a production facility in Brea handles larger runs.
Ethiopian micro lots from Gesha Village, Limu Genji and Abana Estate, chosen on a January trip, arrived in October 2026. Loquat also supplies espresso to PARK at KIMS in New York.
