Order the One-and-One: a single macchiato and single espresso placed together on a shared saucer.

Starting next week, the Santa Cruz–based company will operate a three-month-long pop-up shop at 33 Grand Street. Verve will share a space with Rudy’s Barbershop and Portland-based clothing store Poler — a perfect fit, considering Verve takes style very seriously (the coffee company has an in-house designer who makes skate decks and graphic tees). Owners Ryan O’Donovan and Colby Barr have tricked out the space with a full coffee bar, full espresso machine, and Chemex pour-over coffeemakers. Hopefully, this means that a permanent New York café is imminent. [VV]
