The house mug
Heavy stoneware in the same glaze as the bar cups. Holds a double and then some.

GEMINI
Coffee & Teahouse
Two natures. One table.
A house of two rituals
Two ways to slow down — one pulled hot as espresso, the other steeped long in glass. Both on from the moment we open.
Gemini is a coffeehouse and a teahouse at once — not one and then the other. Same room, same hands, same hours: two entirely different tempers, both pouring from half past six in the morning to six at night.
The first twin
Coffee
Espresso pulled from open to close. Fruity, honey and the loud joy of a good cup — at half past six in the morning or ten minutes before we lock up.
The coffee listThe second twin
Tea
Glass pots and slow ceremony, poured the same hours as the coffee. Jasmine unfolding at nine in the morning if that's your hour.
The tea listChapter one
While the grinder
runs
Great coffee is built on quality ingredients and trusted partners. We proudly source our beans from Lima Coffee Roasters, a Colorado roaster to serve thoughtfully sourced, expertly roasted coffee — all day, every day. The grinder runs until the door is locked.

Buy from us
Bags of coffee off the same shelf we brew from, and the few good objects we actually use behind the bar. Everything here is on the shelf at No. 8 Kettle Lane — ask any of us, or write ahead and we'll set it aside.

The glass pot
The same borosilicate pot we steep in, so you can watch a jasmine pearl open at home.

Loose leaf, by the tin
Any tea on the list, weighed out into a sealed tin with the steeping notes on the lid.

The Kettle Lane tote
Undyed canvas, the two-sign mark on one side. Fits two bags of beans and a book.
Ask at the bar
The two-natures tee
Cup on the front, teapot on the back. An argument you can wear.

A card for the house
Any amount, good on either side of the menu — which is the whole point of us.

Chapter two
The kettle is on
the whole time
Tea isn't a late act here — the glass pots go out the same hours the espresso does, from open to close. What the end of the week adds is the tea service: on Friday and Saturday afternoons, tea trays and artisan charcuterie boards, for when you'd like to stay a while.
About us · the keepers of the house
Josh & Kate
Two people, two temperaments — which is rather the whole point. One of them came up behind an espresso machine, the other by way of a teapot, and neither would give theirs up; that standoff is why the house pours both, all day, every day. Together, Josh and Kate built the room they always wanted to sit in — and they hope you'll want to stay awhile too.
— with love, from both sides of the bar

itself
A tall room with a marble bar and too many windows. Come at seven for the noise, or at three for the quiet — both menus are open either way. Bring someone who is your opposite.
