Cogen, who makes the YouTube channel The Unlockr, opened Coffee Check on Green Street in August 2024 and set aside about 1,000 square feet of the new cafe as a video studio for rent. The roaster sits in the room, with beans roasted a few feet from the bar, and ModCup and Driftaway beans are sold alongside.
A live-edge wooden table runs most of the length of the long, narrow room, opposite a counter with a fluted wood front. The ceiling is painted black and the brick walls white.
