Our Story
More Than Coffee.
A Feeling.
Velvet Bean was born from a simple belief — that a great cup of coffee should slow you down, not speed you up. We source single-origin beans from twelve countries, roast in small batches, and brew every cup with intention.
Our space is designed for lingering: warm Edison lighting, reclaimed wood, soft jazz, and the kind of quiet that lets you think. Whether you're deep in a deadline or catching up with a friend, this is your place.
Direct-trade relationships with farmers across Ethiopia, Colombia & beyond.
Roasted weekly in-house for peak freshness and complexity.
Local musicians every Friday evening — coffee and culture, together.

What Guests Say
Loved by Coffee People
"Velvet Bean is my second home. The pour-over is the best I've had outside of Tokyo. The atmosphere is just… perfect for working."
"I've been to coffee shops across 20 cities. Velvet Bean's espresso and the Friday jazz nights are genuinely world-class. Don't sleep on the tiramisu."
"The latte art masterclass was incredible. I learned more in 2 hours than I had in years of trying at home. Warm, welcoming team."
