Uniformity can lead to consistent results, but can also be boring. I appreciate what Bobby Roshan is doing with Café Demitasse. Each cafe has a unique design and different specialty beverages. Now, they’re running a daytime specialty coffee bar at Wallflower. Local architect Dustin Miles and Sumatra native Harryson Tobing collaborated on this stylish Indonesian restaurant. An airy, planter-lined space with battleship paintings resides on an increasingly fashionable stretch of Rose Avenue in Venice.

Roshan didn’t just drop a standard espresso bar menu into Wallflower. Instead, he collaborated with Tobing on a signature Five-Spice Cappuccino ($5) that nods to his Asian heritage. Tobing grinds five-spice in-house with Ceylon cinnamon, clove, Coriander, star anise and Szechuan peppercorns. Demitasse baristas shake Wallflower five-spice syrup with whole milk, espresso and ice, forming a frothy, refreshing drink that arrives in a curvy coupe with a dusting of aromatic Ceylon cinnamon.
