Their newest South Congress outpost looks to capitalize on the city\u2019s penchant for doing things in 100\u00b0 heat that shouldn\u2019t ever really be done in temperatures that hot: riding bikes and drinking hot coffee; the crisp natural bubbles are never a bad idea though. But it\u2019s a formula that has spelled success in Austin for some time now, and there\u2019s no slowing down (or cooling off) in sight.<\/p>\n<p><em>The 2019 Build-Outs of Summer is presented by\u00a0<a class=\"addbackground\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/baristaseries\/\">Pacific Barista Series<\/a>,\u00a0<a class=\"addbackground\" href=\"https:\/\/www.notneutral.com\/\">notNeutral<\/a>,\u00a0<a class=\"addbackground\" href=\"https:\/\/us.keepcup.com\/\">KeepCup<\/a>, and\u00a0<a class=\"addbackground\" href=\"https:\/\/millcityroasters.com\/\">Mill City Roasters<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"gckkadj gckkadj-46\">\n<div class=\"gckkadj-single ackkadj-887\"><a class=\"gofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificfoods.com\/food-service\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/thecurbkaimuki.com\/file\/2019\/09\/Barista_Series_Sprudge_Digital_Product_Lineup_Ad_1170x600-1.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><em>As told to Sprudge by Andrew Werth.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>For those who aren\u2019t familiar, will you tell us about your company?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our framework is espresso, champagne, and chain lube, but really we are\u2026<\/p>\n<p>A top-shelf coffee bar and cafe colliding with a bespoke bike shop.
