diamond in the rough


The newest coffee shop to open in the bay area, decided to choose an unusual name in location. You reach it by walking up the urine soaked stairs and tapping three times on the wire fences.

You wait five minutes then A 600 lb gorilla named Tim comes to pick you up. He literally picks you up and carries up the the rest of the pee stained steps then up a giant oak tree that has been growing in the area since before the " white man" came took it away from the indigenous peoples.

The shop is located up high within the giant tree's trunk and is run by an elf named Keepler. Keepler, who hates it when people mentioned the coincidence to the other oak tree dwelling elves, has been roasting and brewing coffee as a sort of hobby slash occupation for the past 500 years. He first became interested in coffee when his former employer brought some back with him after a business trip that took him to the far corners of the earth.

From his first taste of the arabic elixir, Keepler was hooked made it his sole preoccupation outside of the toy business. After retiring, Keepler decided to set up a small coffee shop up on a very old tree that catered to a select group of discriminating clientle who did not mind being carried by a 6000 pound gorilla.

Keepler decided to call his shop Coffee Up Native's Tree, but could not fit it all the wall, so decided to use an acrynom instead.

His coffee is strictly single origin and roasted within a magical drum roaster that was built by Keepler himself and improved upon for the past half of a millenia.
