About.

Los Angeles and Berlin Visit →

Concierge is a coffee company in two cities. Straightforward specialty coffee, a room worth sitting in, service that treats each drink as something to share rather than sell.

Two cities

Berlin and Los Angeles, dual spaces. Berlin with its underground roots is the kind of spot people meet at without planning to. Los Angeles is 821 Traction Ave in the Arts District, a third space to dream in, with a courtyard that works as the neighborhood's outdoor living room.

What travels between them is not a template but a way of doing: raw where Berlin is raw, open where Los Angeles is open. The same standards of coffee and service in both.

The coffee

We source and roast coffee seasonally. The lots are typically small, because quality is a matter of ongoing attention: an espresso, a single origin filter, and an occasional release whenever a coffee comes along that deserves standout recognition. Fewer coffees, each one cared for personally.

Fresh green coffee lands every four to five weeks. Our releases appear when the coffee does rather than when a calendar says so. Nothing sits on the shelf long enough to go quiet.

Abrazo

Abrazo is Concierge after dark. Wine, something to eat, records, chess, local markets, neighborhood. Same room, different hours, familiar faces and interesting strangers.

One or two night markets a month, announced on Instagram. More on Abrazo →
