not your regular cup of coffee

From the very  moment one of our ancestors took their first sips from a cup of the dark stuff, on the pristine shores of Pyramid Lake (Paiute name), Star Village was born.

We’d like to imagine that our coffee inspiration exists in a creative space of compromise, where the desert alpine converges with the high sierra, to symbolize a historical resilience that pays homage to that which came before us. In with the old, out comes the new, but always in use. This turn of the phrase is the concept behind our custom-built drinks, and we are proud to share our story with you.

“Grows Wild” ingredients

Showcasing forgotten, local ingredients as we pay homage to our ancestors who so expertly crafted coffee before us.

The “grows wild” ingredients we will be previewing on our menu are Great Basin  staples— essential to our way of life, call them survival foods, especially the coffee.  Chokecherries, sage, and pine nuts are endemic to the Great Basin, and we will be  making your speciality drinks with some of those regional ingredients.  

We chose to highlight certain flavor components because of their cultural and  gastronomical significance. These indigenous ingredients represent a piece of our  culinary culture, and are a part of a foodway system that sustain the people  (Numu). Our ancestral teachings remind us about the importance of treating the sharing of food and drink, as a time-honored ceremony. It’s with this intent that we  bring you our coffee creations. Dare to enjoy!
