KLVN Coffee Lab
After roasting small batch, single-origin coffees for four years, KLVN invites guests to be amongst their roasting process while enjoying a cup of coffee.
“You can watch us roast right from the bar,” explains Rachel Strongosky of KLVN. “It’s a laid back coffee shop vibe but – at the same time – also feels like you are part of something.”

The large, industrial space – located on Hamilton Ave near Washington Blvd – features ample room for events and future pop-ups.
“We are getting some new baristas and team members trained before rolling out any events, but it’s definitely something that could be a good fit for this space,” Strongosky says.

KLVN’s specialty focus: Single-Profile Coffee
Folks who have tried KLVN Coffee will note their focus on single-origin, single-profile coffee.
“We describe the coffee as clean and juicy,” Strongosky explains. “Since we don’t try to blend coffees, every cup carries its own (taste) profile.”
