Maru Coffee Arts District

Specialty roaster · $$

Maru's second café and home of its roaster, in a warehouse on Santa Fe with high ceilings, a long cherrywood counter and lots of natural light. The coffee is clean and exacting. Try a pour-over of a single origin, or the mocha, which lets the espresso lead. Fresh croissants daily.

Counter orderOrder at the counter and take any seat in the warehouse. Bags of their own roasts are for sale at the counter.
