Nestled in the heart of the city, test1108 is your downtown refuge — where precision-crafted espresso meets warm brick walls, unhurried mornings, and the hum of urban life just outside the door.
Every cup we brew starts with carefully sourced beans from small, ethical farms across Ethiopia, Colombia, and Guatemala. Our rotating seasonal selection ensures each visit brings a new, distinct flavor experience.
Our kitchen starts before sunrise, filling the café with the scent of butter, brown sugar, and warm dough. From flaky croissants to seasonal fruit danishes, everything is made from scratch every morning.
Whether you need a quiet corner to focus or a comfortable spot to unwind, test1108 is designed for both. High-speed Wi-Fi, ample outlets, and unhurried service make it your true downtown escape.
Every item is crafted with intention — sourced thoughtfully, prepared with care, and designed to make your downtown pause feel worthwhile.
Velvety microfoam over a double ristretto — silky, strong, and perfectly balanced.
18-hour cold steep meets sparkling tonic — bright, effervescent, and surprisingly complex.
Ceremonial-grade matcha whisked with oat milk — earthy, creamy, and beautifully vivid.
Twice-baked with house almond cream, toasted flakes, and a dusting of powdered sugar.
Sourdough with smashed avocado, chili flakes, lemon zest, and finishing sea salt.
Single-origin beans, dialed daily — a transparent, terroir-driven cup worth savoring slowly.
Seasonal specials change weekly. Ask your barista what's fresh today.
Explore the Full Menutest1108 was born from a simple belief: every city deserves a place that's neither home nor office — somewhere unhurried, warm, and genuinely yours. We opened our doors in the downtown core to fill exactly that gap, one carefully pulled shot at a time.
We source our beans exclusively from small, ethical farms across Ethiopia, Colombia, and Guatemala — growers we know by name, whose practices we've seen firsthand. No commodity lots. No compromises.
Every batch is roasted fresh on-site each week, so what reaches your cup is never more than days from the roaster. You can taste the difference, and we think you should.
Every corner tells a story — the hiss of the machine, the scent of fresh pastry, the glow that greets you at the door.

What Our Regulars Say
test1108 has completely ruined me for any other coffee. The single-origin Ethiopian pour-over they brew in the mornings is like nothing I've had in this city — floral, bright, and perfectly balanced. My daily ritual now.
