You may know her as the icon of the summer, but to me she’s just a casual Tuesday morning latte. The coveted Funky Monkey, our banana bread-inspired latte, was whipped up in my own kitchen years before she ever entered the seasonal menu chat at Tala.

Unlike traditional processing methods, co-fermentation intentionally introduces additional ingredients during fermentation. Whether you're already a fan of fruit-forward coffees or you're trying co-fermentation for the first time, these unique coffees are a delicious reminder that every step of the coffee journey plays a role in what's ultimately in your cup.

Being loved by our dad leaves evidence behind. This year, in honor of Father’s Day, we asked our staff to reflect on those little inheritances from Dad and share why they are special. 

When we describe a coffee as "acidic”, we’re not warning you that it will make you pucker. We’re telling you that the coffee is alive. That it has something to say.

Summer is in full swing, and so is our seasonal lineup. This year’s menu brings back a mix of familiar favorites and fruity flavors built for warm-weather sipping. Our summer menu is perfect for hot days, slow mornings, and everything in between. Cheers! 🍋🍊🫐🍌

This past weekend, we celebrated Nine Years as a business. As usual, we threw a big party. Thank you to everyone who came out to have a fun time on Sunday, whether you got a Birthday Cake Latte, enjoyed something epic from one of our pop-ups, came to our roastery tour, grabbed a slice of cake, or—my personal favorite—drew your smiley face on our community self portrait. We had so much fun with you all!

At what point did coffee shops and laptops become sworn enemies? We’ve collectively agreed that cafés are places to read books for three hours, journal about our feelings, and have four-hour first dates that go nowhere. But open up Microsoft Excel for twenty minutes, and suddenly you’re a threat to society?

“When you get to do what you love, you feel lucky”, shares Ryan, co-founder of Pilates + Coffee, a prominent fixture of the Roscoe village community. Founders Ryan and Jacquelyn fused their talents and passion for their community into a studio and café that has spent nearly a decade bringing people together through movement and coffee.

As summer gets underway, we’re excited to share a fresh lineup of events designed to help you soak it all in. From community celebrations and local pop-ups to new drink menus, plenty is happening this month. We can’t wait to spend another summer with you! ☀️
