Canyon coffee
A long-standing coffee roastery has set up its first stationary location and has taken over the former counterpart Vegan Space in Echo Park. Owners Casey Wojtalewicz, Ally Walsh and James Klapp founded Canyon Coffee in 2016, inspired by their morning coffee tradition at home. They started with online retail and pop-ups, and the business eventually grew into a large wholesale company with more than 400 customers. They plan to open their cafe in March, which serves a rotation of Canyon Coffee beans, lattes on tap, and an all-day menu of tartines and freshly squeezed orange juice, with both indoor and outdoor seating. Retail stores include bags of coffee and merchandise from manufacturers and artists such as ceramists Peter Shire and Michelle Blade.
