Aharon Vaknin and his wife, BatSheva, are opening their first specialty coffee shop, Aharon Coffee & Roasting Company, (9467 Charleville Blvd., Beverly Hills, CA 90212) in Beverly Hills and you can swing by the grand opening this Thursday to sample their house-roasted coffees. They offer coffee beans from different parts of the world including South America and Africa and offer many different styles of coffee, like pour overs, french press, chemex and siphon styles of hand brewed coffee by the cup.
All espresso shots are pulled ristretto, meaning a short shot of espresso made with the normal amount of coffee but half the amount of water, for a bolder and stronger taste. What makes this coffee spot different from all the others that are popping up, is they use techniques to insure the coffee beans become a lighter roast, for a less bitter taste than darker roasts.
In addition to the plethora of styles of coffee, the menu consists of cold brew coffee, teas, and specialty lattes, where they make chocolate, caramel and vanilla sauces from scratch. Pastries come from Milo and Olive and include apple cinnamon muffins and chocolate nut biscotti’s. Whole sale beans are available as well for purchase.
Open Monday-Friday, 5:30 am-7 pm and Saturday & Sunday, 6:30 am to 6 pm.
