Oyster Oyster is thrilled to partner with local Lorton, VA-based RĀKO Coffee Roasters on a daytime coffee shop pop-up. You will find espresso carts dispensing made-to-order milk and alt-milk based espresso drinks, baked goods and teas from Chef Rubba, and a retail shop selling brewing essentials and bagged coffee. Chef Rubba is creating several fresh baked goods for the shop, which may range from cinnamon roll-esque pumpkin hickory bark rolls, plus seasonal breads and scones of the day. He has also collaborated with the roasters on a unique Mushroom Tea, made with lion’s mane mushrooms, which Rubba says adds a creaminess to the tea’s mouthfeel, and is good for focus and energy. RĀKO and Oyster Oyster came together over a shared ethos of sustainability. RĀKO focuses on sustainably-sourced single-origin coffees and roasts locally with environmentally-friendly and energy-efficient roasting practices. Their commitment to bettering the earth extends to everything from fully compostable cups, to a program where you can return your coffee bags to be recycled and turned into park benches. They also share an eye for design, and RĀKO tapped local DC artist Emon Surakitkoson to create a mural backdrop and cup artwork for the pop-up.The pop-up is operating every Wednesday through Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. For more information please click here.
