Savor a Pour-Over at Lost Socks Roaster
For many people, a day doesn’t really start until after they’ve finished at least one cup of coffee. That’s just one reason why the newly opened Lost Sock Roasters is an exciting addition to the area. As they explain it, they offer “what you’re looking for every morning.”
In this case, that every morning something is specialty coffee, roasted in small batches and committed to quality and sustainability. With a single origin latte, house espresso, or finca bruhwer pour over, you might not want to return to your own coffee pot going forward. And, as one reviewer points out, “they offer sandwiches and real food to go [with] their amazing coffee.” That “real food” includes pastries, like most cafes, but also features empanadas, toast, sandwiches, and other treats.
“If you love coffee,” writes one customer, “Lost Socks is worth your time.” If you love knowing your coffee is made with care and a commitment to the environment, you’ll love Lost Socks. Or, if you simply want to experience a delicious empanada beside your caffeine of choice, a visit to Lost Socks is an absolute must.
