Coffee Bars + Wine Bars: One Delicious, Flavor-Obsessed Future

Something exciting is happening in the world of taste: coffee bars and wine bars are merging into one beautifully cohesive, flavor-focused experience. And honestly? It was destined.

Both coffee and wine are agricultural miracles shaped by people, place, plant, and process — the very pillars that guide every decision we make at Torque. From the slopes of Ethiopia to the volcanic soils of Guatemala to the rolling vineyards that craft expressive natural wines, the parallels are undeniable. Terroir, fermentation, careful sorting, intentional processing… it’s all the same story told in different flavors.

Just like a vibrant bottle of wine, a light roast, fruit-forward single origin bursts with acidity, sweetness, and layered nuance. Think heirloom Ethiopian coffees dripping with citrus and florals, or the Marcelessa from Juan Diego de la Cerda shimmering with ripe fruit complexity — they speak the same flavor language your favorite wine bar celebrates.

So when these two worlds come together under one roof?
Magic. Pure sensory magic.

At Torque, we’re obsessed with honoring the craft behind both beverages — spotlighting the producers, showcasing their landscapes, and treating their work with the lightest, most respectful touch possible. Whether you’re swirling a glass or dialing in a pour-over, you’re exploring the same constellation of care, origin, and expression.

Coffee and wine aren’t separate cultures anymore.
They’re two sides of the same beautiful, intentional, flavor-first universe.

And we’re here for every delicious sip of it. Specialty coffee and fine wine are both terroir driven beverages and if you are a smarty-pants you love both!
