some ideas take a while to become real.

for us, one of them was finding a way to bring mu.sō outside the coffee shop.

a few months ago, that idea turned into a vintage bmw e30 touring with a custom espresso setup in the back. not because the world needed another coffee cart, but because we liked the idea of serving coffee and matcha in places where people wouldn't expect to find it.

thanks to dua lipa, pickle coke became a thing. strange, slightly chaotic, but intriguing enough to try. we took that idea and pushed it further - adding a double shot of espresso and turning it into something that actually makes sense on a menu.

some drinks sound strange until you try them.
espresso and orange juice together is definitely one of those combinations. but in cities like moscow and saint petersburg, this drink has been quietly popular for years. it’s called the orange bumble coffee, and once you taste it, the idea suddenly makes perfect sense.

today the orange bumble is starting to appear in specialty cafés outside eastern europe, including here in los angeles. at mu.sō, the drink is served as a nod to the coffee culture many of us grew up with, bringing a small piece of that scene to west adams.
