New harvest: Ethiopia Guji Hambela is back on the slow bar

Roasted on 30th Street

Sunshine, but make it coffee

Little Dune is a tiny roastery and café in North Park. We roast twice a week, pull shots from 6:30 and bake our own cardamom buns every morning.

The roastery

Roasted twelve kilos at a time

Our 12-kilo Loring roaster sits right behind the counter, so you can watch every batch. We roast on Tuesdays and Fridays, light enough to taste the farm, never so light it tastes like tea.

  • Direct relationships with farms in Ethiopia, Colombia and Guatemala
  • Every roast cupped before it leaves the building
  • Bags stamped with roast date, never a best-by date
  • Solar panels on the roof cover 60% of our power

Kind words

Our regulars say it best

“The Dune Fog ruined every other latte for me. I now plan my morning walks so I end up on 30th Street.”
MVMarisol VegaNorth Park, regular since 2021
“We had the espresso cart at our wedding in Balboa Park. Guests talked about the horchata cold brew more than the cake.”
JaJordan and Kenji ItoMarried in 2025
“The subscription is the best thing in my week. The beans arrive two days after roasting and the tasting notes are actually accurate.”
