My relationship with coffee began on night shifts, long before it became a home hobby. At first, it was simply a way to get through long hours. That changed when I began roasting my own beans and discovered how much care, freshness, and attention could transform a cup of coffee. Curtis Street is also where I experienced that same care in a different way—where I came to know how thoughtful, generous, and connected our block in Albany could be. Curtis St. Coffee carries that spirit forward, serving small-batch coffee rooted in care, generosity, and everyday connection.
