The Crown:
Royal Coffee Lab & Tasting Room
The space is filled with natural sunlight fed through skylights scattered throughout the 27-foot ceiling. Various iterations of the space are possible with our movable walls and modular bars. The Crown is fully equipped with state-of-the-art A/V equipment and a wide selection of the latest coffee equipment from premier suppliers like Fellow, La Marzocco, Loring, and more.
The Tasting Room
Our Tasting Room features the opportunity for stellar coffee service, diverse counter heights for drinks & light bites, an expansive 8-tap system, and a mobile modular coffee bar, called “Naaga”, built by Oakland artist Chambers Art & Design.
When the modular Nanawall moveable glass door system is opened, this room will connect to the adjacent Presentation Room. It can also operate fully independently.
The Presentation Room
This room is both the largest and most customizable room, perfect to create the layout that best fits your needs.
With its acoustic paneling and 133″ inch projector screen, this room was designed for presentations, panel discussions, passed or shared appetizers and, of course, cuppings.
When the modular Nanawall moveable glass door system is opened, this room will connect to the adjacent Tasting Room & is ideal for large gatherings. It can also operate fully independently.
When the pocket Nanawall moveable glass door is opened, this room will connect to the adjacent Brew Lab.
The Brew Lab
This room is the most technical room. It was designed for hands-on learning and more intimate training & presentations with its 92” projector screen.
When the pocket Nanawall moveable glass doors are opened, this room can connect to either the Roast Lab or the Presentation Room, making it ideal for viewership overflow, or to house a catering company.
The Roast Lab
The Roast Lab is The Crown’s hub for all of our roasting theory and practice. Equipped with a Proaster 2-barrel Sample Roaster, a 5kg Diedrich IR machine, and a 15kg “Falcon” Loring Smart Roast, a 1kg Aillio Bullet, two Ikawas Bluetooth sample roasters, as well as a ColorTrack Laser Color Analyzer, our skilled artisans have all the tools at their disposal to make great tasting coffee happen. Booking time in the roast lab is exclusively for educational purposes, and you’ll be paired with a talented roasting professional for the duration of your training.
