Coffee that begins
with a single origin

We roast small batches, pull every shot with intention, and bake our pastries from scratch — because the best cups are built from the ground up.

About Us

Where every cup tells a story about the soil it came from

Gemina Coffee Shop was born from a simple conviction: that the best coffee experience starts long before the bean hits the grinder. We source directly from farms in Ethiopia, Colombia, and Guatemala — relationships built on fairness, quality, and mutual respect.

Our roastery sits behind the counter. You can watch every batch being turned, hear the crack, smell the transformation. Then our baristas pull each shot with the precision it deserves. And yes — the croissants, the sourdough, the seasonal tarts — they're all baked here, every morning, before the doors open.

Small-batch roasted Weekly, in-house
Direct trade Ethiopia, Colombia, Guatemala
Baked from scratch Every morning at 4 AM
Open daily 7 AM – 8 PM
"The quality of your morning is determined by the intention you pour into it."

Gemina Coffee Shop

Our Story

Two siblings, one obsession with good coffee

Gemina — Latin for "twins" — is our family name and our philosophy. We grew up watching our grandmother measure every cup by eye, taste every batch, and treat the morning ritual as something sacred. That standard never left us.

When we opened Gemina Coffee Shop on East 14th Street, we wanted to create a space that felt like a living room — warm, unhurried, and honest. No pretension, no rush. Just excellent coffee, real food, and the kind of hospitality that makes you want to come back.

We roast on-site every week. We source from farms we visit. We bake before dawn. Not because it's trendy — because it's the only way we know how to do this right.
