01Our story
A bit of Fontainhas on Greene Avenue
Anika Fernandes grew up two lanes from 31st January Road in Panjim, in a house with ochre walls, cobalt shutters and a tiled bench by the door where the whole street seemed to sit in the afternoons.
Joel Mathias spent ten years roasting coffee in Bengaluru. In 2016 they took over an old locksmith’s on Greene Avenue, painted the front the exact ochre of her grandmother’s house in Fontainhas, hung blue shutters and built a tiled bench out front. In Goa it’s called a balcão. In Fort Greene, people just sit on it.
The back room became the roastery. The kitchen became a bakery, because a morning without poee is a morning that hasn’t started, in Panjim or in Brooklyn. The rest of the time, we mostly try not to hurry anyone.
— Anika & Joel
- 12 hrs Cold brew steep, overnight, in the back room
- 3,600 ft Estate altitude, Chikmagalur hills
- 8,400 mi Chikmagalur to Greene Avenue, as the crow flies. The beans take the slow boat.
