C.C. Ferns is a cozy, retro coffee haven serving exceptional brews, boozy concoctions, and tempting donuts, perfect for a chill vibe or a work session.
"Hidden 'round the corner of California and Augusta, CC Ferns is a one of those sweet little spots you always dream of stumbling across. Weekday or weekend, begin your day here with cortado, espresso, or an iced coffee brewed from Ferns' custom Metropolis roast. Mysteriously dubbed “Project X,” it's needfully strong with a cocoa and earth forward flavor, no acidity or bitterness here. Opened in 2015, the cafe is owned by the folks at The California Clipper and shares a backroom with the dimly-lit dive, which has been there since 1937. The bar's liquor license extends to the cafe, making it a Sunday morning mecca where you can pick up an adorably named Boozy Steamer. During the weekday billable hours, maybe stick with a doughnut and cold brew—the steamers do not mess around. We highly recommend the Scotch & Honey, made with Famous Grouse, almond and honey, for a double-edged buzz." - Firebelly Design

"Brendan Sodikoff has closed his only bar as he confirms that they’ve shuttered the 21-year-old California Clipper and its neighboring coffee shop, C.C. Ferns. Crews were seen earlier this week emptying out the space at California and Augusta." - Ashok Selvam
