Our Story

A room made for lingering

Rongo Rongo Room opened on 35th Avenue with a simple conviction: that a neighborhood café should feel like a place you want to stay in, not just pass through. No rush. No noise. Just good coffee, thoughtful drinks, and the kind of atmosphere that lets the evening unfold at its own pace.

We source our coffee from roasters who treat each batch like a craft — small quantities, careful attention, and a respect for where the beans come from. Our bar program is built the same way: seasonal menus, simple ingredients, and drinks that taste like something actually thought about.

Whether you come for a single origin pour-over at 9 a.m. or a Negroni at 9 p.m., the room is yours.

The Coffee

Brewed with intention

Every cup starts with a relationship — with the roaster, the origin, and the person pulling the shot.

Foundation

Espresso

Our house blend is balanced and smooth — a foundation built for both black and with milk. Rotating single origins available on request.

Pour-over coffee being prepared at the bar

Single Origin

Pour-Over

Hand-poured, small batch, always fresh. We rotate between three to five origins depending on what the season offers. Ask about today's selection.

With Milk

Steamers & Lattes

Oat, almond, and whole milk — all steamed to a velvety microfoam. Our lattes are pulled double and poured with care.

The Bar

Evening drinks, done right

When the coffee crowd thins and the light changes, the room shifts. Our cocktail program is built on classic technique and seasonal judgment — no gimmicks, no frozen blends, nothing that requires a machine to taste like something.

We keep the wine list short and the beer local. The sake selection changes with the season. And if you don't know what to order, tell us what you're in the mood for — we'll find it.
