APT stands for A Personal Tailor, and the coffee menu follows through: choose the seasonal or house blend, then the intensity and milk foam. A useful Elements stop when you know exactly how you like your cup—or want to find out.

OUR ORDER

A white coffee tailored to your preferred blend, intensity and foam, with a bakery treat if you are hungry.
