COFFEE
The foundation of our cafe is based on almost 20 years of working in the coffee industry. Our intention is to serve quality coffee sourced from numerous roaster friends. The Pinhole Crew takes time to dial in these coffees, paying attention to the ever changing science of the beans (time, temperature and weight). We like to view our space as a Pinhole Playground for coffee. We
Currently we are serving Linea Caffe (San Francisco, CA) who partnered with us for our custom House Drip blend "Masarap", which means "delicious" in Tagalog. This blend was initially created for JoEllen's wedding in 2017. She loves Ethiopia coffees and her wife, Robin, loves Central & South America coffees. Their smooth and chocolatey "Big Calm Decaf" blend is offered for Espresso. For regular Espresso we partnered with Grand Coffee (San Francisco, CA) serving their "Las Pilas" Guatemala blend. Our Pour-Over Coffee Program hosts a rotation of Single Origin coffees from guest roasters around the country. Currently we are featuring Little Waves Coffee (Durham, NC).
TEA
We carry an assortment of teas from Blue Willow Tea (Berkeley, CA). At the beginning of 2022 we started sourcing our chai from David Rio (San Francisco, CA). In addition, we use Encha (San Jose, CA) for organic matcha that's grown, ground and packaged on their farm in Uji, Kyoto, Japan.

ABOUT US
ABOUT US
Our building was erected in the 1880's at the corner of Bonview St. and Cortland Ave. The space was originally Max Breithaupt's butcher shop. Pinhole Coffee opened for business on September 12, 2014.
The term "pinhole" is a reference to "pinhole photography." It is a symbolic parallelism of something small producing something big. In pinhole photography, when a pin sized hole is exposed to light it reflects an image. We like to think that everyone involved in our space is the "light source", our cafe is the "pinhole" and the result is the overall experience.
In 2023 we manifested a battery operated cafe on wheels called "Pinholita." It is currently stationed, in a mobile way, in Ojai, CA where we focus on pop-ups and hired events. More information HERE.
