Seven Grams Caffe was founded in 2014 in New York City as a small, independent operation with no outside investors. The name is an ode to the Italian standard: a proper espresso shot starts with exactly seven grams of finely ground coffee. They roast every bean they serve, sourcing a carefully selected portfolio that spans different regions, altitudes, processing methods, and varietals. The business pairs its in house roasting with a dedicated bakery program, and its chocolate chip cookies have drawn recognition from The New York Times and Thrillist. The ethos is straightforward: keep it independent, roast it yourself, and let the quality speak.
