Why it's a must-try

Marwin Shaw, who opened Monk Bodhi Dharma in 2009, sold his cafés to focus on roasting and calls this backstreet warehouse a coffee cellar door. Every cup is served black: eight to ten espressos a day and pour-overs that run from everyday cups to very rare lots.

There is no milk of any kind and no disposable cup, so bring your own or drink in from the ceramic mugs Shaw makes by hand. Beans, mugs and brewing gear are for sale.
