"Owners and married couple Justin Choi and Janis Ahn, who previously ran roastery Hanok Coffee from 2021 to 2023, source both matcha and hojicha from Chinatown's Archives of Us, while the generally fruit-forward espresso beans come from the likes of Hydrangea (Berkeley), Flower Child (Oakland), Ilse (Connecticut's New Canaan) and locally based Moim Coffee."
"With fruity, floral tasting notes across the board, pour-over options will be a boon for light roast aficionados. Junia's selections rotate roughly every two weeks, so even regulars can find something new to savor and appreciate."
"The signature Matcha Grey delivers a double whammy of two delicious classic tea flavors. The drink consists of equal parts matcha and oat milk (i.e. a cortado) topped with cream steeped in Earl Grey and a shower of finely ground black tea leaves."
Junia Café is a South Bay coffee shop operated by married couple Justin Choi and Janis Ahn, formerly of Hanok Coffee. The café features rotating single-origin pour overs with fruity and floral tasting notes, changing every two weeks. Specialty drinks include the Matcha Grey combining matcha and oat milk with Earl Grey cream, and a cherry tonic hojicha for low-caffeine preferences. Matcha and hojicha sourced from Archives of Us in Chinatown, while espresso beans come from Hydrangea, Flower Child, Ilse, and Moim Coffee. Pastries from Out of Thin Air bakery fill the case, with apple danish and cardamom bun as standouts. The casual, bustling space attracts students and local workers with free Wi-Fi, though parking nearby can be limited.
