Groundwork Coffee Company

Say "Hello" to Groundwork Coffee, the best coffee company in the L.A. and Santa Monica.


Whenever people talk about the best coffee in L.A., the first name comes up is Intelligentsia.  Maybe, this has happened because of publicity and their performance.  They dispatch baristas to The United States Barista Championship, Big Western, almost every year and open "Coffee bar" in major cities in the States.  Or, it's because maybe their outstanding presentation at their cafes.

If the first thing you care about is quality, here is the one worth to visit, even make a trip to visit: Groundwork coffee.  Groundwork coffee is one of the first coffee roaster to become certified Organic in Southern California, and pioneered sustainable and relationship-based, organic coffee sourcing.  

There are 7 locations, including Roastery in North Hollywood and KIOSK on every Sunday at Farmers Market in Santa Monica's Heritage Square.  Their coffeehouses are very unique, most of them have something memorable or histrionic needed to be carried on to next generation.  Out of all, here is the one, the most unique coffee house on Main St., Santa Monica.   
Only 8 feet wide and 35 feet long, this handy size coffeehouse presents philosophy of Groundwork: "Organic and sustainability" can provide "high quality and exquisite flavor".  Coffee beans and teas they carry/offer are only organically grown.  

They sell not only blends but also single origins: Brazil, Sumatra, Honduras, Peru, Papua New Guinea and so on. 
Some may want to categorize these as "Specialty" since beans are identified by mills and estates/farms, but their effort is more than "Specialty".  

Organic and Specialty can be together if you sincerely deserve to combine these two together.  Groundwork proves it.         

"Specialty coffee movement" certainly brought us the mind of appreciation to the growers and raised value of their work.  So called "third wave" pushed up the price of green beans dramatically and micronized regions of production.

Groundwork Coffee Company shows us the future of "Specialty Coffee": harmonization.  We are now to live for the future.  The future we preserve environments and live with what we have.
