"Loquat Coffee is Kumquat’s lesser-known yet equally delicious sister cafe in Cypress Park. The owners emphasize South Korea’s coffee culture but Loquat leans into four choices for espresso, including a Samboni Gesha blend that’s put through a 72-hour anaerobic, fermented, and oxygenated process. Loquat only uses beans that are roasted in-house." - Mona Holmes
"Kumquat might be peacefully sleepy, but its second location, Loquat, is bright and in-your-face. This Cypress Park corner shop has a sleeker, more industrial look, with swaths of canary yellow everywhere you look. Loquat’s menu also has a more even distribution of espresso, pour-overs, cold brew, and signature drinks. It really comes down to what you’re in the mood for because we’ve never had a drink we didn’t enjoy, like espresso topped with a cloud of mascarpone foam or the geisha cold brew that tastes like sweet cherries." - sylvio martins, garrett snyder
"A second branch of the Cypress Park coffee shop is set to debut in spring 2025." - Cathy Chaplin
"Served at the deli, Loquat Coffee is brewed all day and is recommended to pair with rugelach or black-and-white cookies." - Mona Holmes
"I pick up Fondry’s pastries at Loquat, the sister shop in Cypress Park where Fondry baked goods are available on Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays." - Rebecca Roland
