Unlike French press coffee brewers, they allow for finer ground coffee and ensure a consistently smooth, grit-free cup of coffee. Not compatible with AeroPress XL coffee maker.

    • Curio Spice - Bonga Spice 1.4 oz

This green, piquant blend is inspired by the fertile, leafy countryside of Bonga, Ethiopia where we source herbs and spices from a women’s cooperative. While different from traditional Ethiopian blends, it’s anchored in iconic flavors like koseret (a lemony herb) and besobela (a type of basil). Rub onto chicken, beef, or veggies for mildly hot, lively flavor. Use to season lentils or sautéed greens. Great for marinating too!

    Restaurant info

    Bloc was founded 9 years after Diesel Cafe. Choos­ing to open a sec­ond store was no easy deci­sion. We knew how chal­leng­ing run­ning one busi­ness was, so the idea of another store seemed daunt­ing enough that for years, the notion seemed to take a back burner. A decade is a long time, to do any­thing. And after nearly ten years, Tucker and Jen were finally ready, for change. Bloc opened its doors on Octo­ber 15, 2007 and expanded spring of 2008 to cre­ate a court­yard for out­door seating! Bloc still boasts a large hand­ful of staff mem­bers from pre-opening and any of its suc­cess is largely due to these solid few that have stuck with us through slow win­ter days and bustling weekends.
