Roaster running New York's first SCA Premier Training Campus.

Chi Sum Ngai and Kaleena Teoh quit their jobs in 2015 and started a passion project in the East Village. Ngai, a certified Q grader, is Head Roaster at the Long Island City roastery, which roasts on an SF25 and a Stronghold S7 Pro for small-batch competition coffees. As of October 2026 it roasts over a ton of coffee a week.

Its Academy teaches SCA courses and roaster training classes. The company also holds a Women Coffee Roasters Scholarship in Medellín.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

At this shop

The shop takes the ground-floor corner of a stone-clad building on Washington Street in Tribeca, glazed on two sides onto tree-lined sidewalks. A long white-veined counter runs across the back under exposed ductwork and a red sprinkler pipe, and an orange ledge with stools follows the corner windows. Bags of beans for sale sit on a shelf by the glass.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
