The coffee

Local, creativity-led coffee bar known for handcrafted espresso drinks, cold brew, colorful seasonal lattes and matcha, with public claims of in-house roasting.

S3’s identity is playful specialty coffee: espresso, cold brew and colorful house creations take priority over published origin notes. Third-party coffee coverage says the business roasts coffee in-house and offers espresso, French press, pour-over and cold brew. In 2026, S3 upgraded its matcha program to ceremonial matcha from Uji, Japan.
