"Co-created by a co-founder of high-end Saudi Arabian roasting company Hemi Coffee, the brand debuted with a single, minimalist coffee shop in Bushwick last September, with bright yellow packaging and ceramics popping against wooden surfaces. "The space was designed to feel calm, warm and welcoming, using natural materials like wood and a simple, minimal layout," Yellow Sun co-founder and CEO Mohammad Wahid recently told DCN. "The bar workflow was designed for smooth and efficient service.""
"Wahid, who moved to New York in 2023, leads roasting efforts, overseeing a 15-kilogram Loring machine at the Shared Roasting co-roastery in Brooklyn. "Our sourcing focuses on transparent, traceable coffees with clear farm and processing details," said Wahid. "We start with a clear flavor roadmap, then source samples from trusted suppliers. We roast and cup internally before selecting coffees." At the bar, Yellow Sun's espresso is ground with a Mahlkönig E65S GBW and brewed through a Mavam Mach 2."
"Current Yellow Sun releases reflect a variety of post-harvest processing methods and countries of origin, including an anaerobic-natural-process coffee from Wadi Al-Ma'a, Yemen, a honey-process coffee from Las Lajas in Costa Rica and a natural-process coffee from the Urga District of Guji, Ethiopia. "We rotate single-origin pourover coffees every two weeks," said Wahid, noting that the company also serves matcha from UnD and pastries from Paloma."
