Raw Studio
Raw Studio is a warm and inviting café, owned by Bren, a health enthusiast dedicated to crafting wholesome food. With her passion for quality and authenticity, she embodies the belief in living simply and naturally.
Every dish served at Raw Studio is thoughtfully prepared, nourishing both the body and soul to promote well-being among locals and visitors alike.
Bren's dream was to create a space that celebrates homemade food, fosters strong community ties, and encourages generous giving. This vision brought Raw Studio to life, built on the philosophy that love is the most important ingredient in everything they do. It’s this love that makes Raw Studio special, creating a sense of belonging that keeps people coming back for more.
For Bren the flat white is more than just a drink—it’s a moment of inspiration and energy that busy locals rely on to kickstart their day. She sees it as the perfect blend of bold, intense coffee and smooth, velvety milk, a simple yet incredibly satisfying creation.
To Bren, the flat white symbolizes Raw Studio’s dedication to crafting exceptional specialty coffee. It’s a drink that brightens the mood of everyone who walks through the doors, so much so that the café’s playlist was named in its honor. For Bren, the flat white isn’t just a beverage—it’s a little “spiritual high five” to help start the day right.
As a café that embraces the changing seasons, Raw Studio takes pride in offering a rotating selection of beans, showcasing flavors from around the world. Recently, their patrons have enjoyed our Santo Antonio, a natural Brazilian coffee that complements the rich espresso used in their flat whites. The sweet notes of this coffee pair beautifully with the American cookies served at the café, enhancing the experience with hazelnuts and smooth chocolate.
To ensure that each cup is brewed to perfection, Raw Studio utilizes a simple yet effective espresso recipe, following a ratio of 1:2.5/2.75 with their Brazilian coffees. The brewing time typically falls within the high twenty seconds, resulting in a sweeter finish that delights customers.
For the brewing process, Raw Studio has chosen the Italian La Marzocco Linea Classic, which has been a reliable partner for just over a year. Its straightforward design aligns with the café's philosophy, allowing baristas to create authentic espressos that honor the farmers and roasters behind each bean.
We have been working closely with Raw Studio, offering close consultation on coffee choices and equipment upgrades. We've visited a few times to lend a hand and have even hosted public coffee tastings, bringing their community together to explore new flavors and techniques.
Our collaboration continues to thrive as we share a commitment to quality and community, celebrating the love and passion that make Raw Studio a cherished spot in the neighborhood.
