Lofty roasts locally for clarity, balance and consistency. Keeping It Classy anchors espresso, with seasonal single-origin espresso and manual filter coffee adding range. Cold coffee is unusually deep: NOLA-style with chicory, Kyoto-style, standard cold brew and single-origin nitro. Current producer and process details rotate, so ask before ordering; house-made almond and organic oat milk are available.
