Following the opening of Handsome Coffee Roasters, you can’t really impress Downtown with a mud hut unless you’re roasting your own. To that end, Bobak Roshan’s Demitasse Cafe is opening a new roasting house next month with Greg Thomas, who has his own “nano-batch” coffee label produced in Atwater Village and named Trystero in a wink to Thomas Pynchon. Demitasse is currently set up in an temporary warehouse, where it’s roasting Colombian, Ethiopian, and Sumatran beans for its cafe and expects Demitasse Roasting to be open in Downtown by mid-October, possibly with its own retail component.
