About the Tour
Claro Coffee is a third wave coffee shop focusing on coffee that is rich and smooth, clean and flavorful. Named for Claro Walnut, the type of wood used heavily in the shop’s design, it’s located in the industrial Morena District. Along with the owners of Claro and Made Lumber Supply, who did the build-out, Megan will be doing a guided tour of the project and discussing the inspiration behind the design, which was heavily influenced by George Nakashima's Pennsylvania studio and highlights the natural beauty and significance of Claro Walnut.
