Ever wished you could taste all the coffees on our shelves before deciding which bag to bring home? For one day, that’s exactly what we’re doing.

Our cafe will be closed on Saturday, July 18, but we’ll be opening our studio for something a little different:

Throughout the day, we’ll be hosting several guided cupping sessions featuring a large selection of coffees that we’re about to put on our shelves – and you get to shop them first.

Think of it as a chance to taste before you buy. Whether you’re deciding between a few bags, exploring different origins and roasters, or simply looking to discover something new, this is a great opportunity to experience them side by side. There’s absolutely no pressure to purchase though – some of the rare coffees featured on the table are worth the tasting experience alone.

Featuring some of our long-term partners Lab19, Bean Barn, and Raw Sugar Roast, the selections include a hyper-rare Taiwan Alishan coffee, many exotic processing, and competition lots.

After each cupping session, you’ll have time to browse our retail selection and purchase your favorites to take home. It’s a fun and relaxed way to shop for coffee, with the opportunity to compare many coffees before making your choice.

Each cupping session will start at the scheduled time, and lasts about 40 minutes ~ 1 hour. After the cupping, participants will enjoy exclusive event-only pricing on every bag of coffee purchased.

We look forward to sharing some exceptional coffees with you and helping you discover your next favorite bag.

Location: Rikka Fika Studios, 710 13th Street, San Diego.
