Norberto Peña grew up in Puerto Rico and spent two years on bar takeovers and pop-ups around the city before opening the café in May 2025. He rents time on a Loring S15 Falcon owned by fellow Bushwick company Loveless Coffees, and the roster leans Latin American, among them Peru, Mexico and Colombia. Puerto Rican coffees go on the brew bar when he has them.
A floor-to-ceiling hand-painted mural covers the long side wall, with notes pinned across it. The café sits at the entrance of Bushwick Comedy Club on Melrose Street, a narrow room with a black-painted ceiling and floor and one dark green wall behind the pale wood counter.
