Goodread Blurb:
On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous is a letter from a son to a mother who cannot read. Written when the speaker, Little Dog, is in his late twenties, the letter unearths a family's history that began before he was born — a history whose epicenter is rooted in Vietnam — and serves as a doorway into parts of his life his mother has never known, all of it leading to an unforgettable revelation. At once a witness to the fraught yet undeniable love between a single mother and her son, it is also a brutally honest exploration of race, class, and masculinity. Asking questions central to our American moment, immersed as we are in addiction, violence, and trauma, but undergirded by compassion and tenderness, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous is as much about the power of telling one's own story as it is about the obliterating silence of not being heard.
With stunning urgency and grace, Ocean Vuong writes of people caught between disparate worlds, and asks how we heal and rescue one another without forsaking who we are. The question of how to survive, and how to make of it a kind of joy, powers the most important debut novel of many years.
Sinem Kartal
Owner and Head Roaster
We are an independent roastery based in Islington/Angel. We are based in the Laundrette my mother ran before she retired. So, if you ever come to see the first thing you will see outside is the laundrette sign, as the original sign still exists, I have left up.
Inside, I have built the coffee roasters. It feels like stepping into someone's living room. This is where we roast our beans. If you are lucky, you get to see us roast.
The industrial machines are covered with hand-crocheted table runners. A sight never seen before, bringing together the industrial and homely touch of both a laundrette and a coffee house.
Our coffee is roasted weekly, bagged and posted directly from the laundrette. If ever you come our way, pop by and enjoy a cup of coffee us.

'What a great place! Bought a bag last week and already run out.
I have ground the freshly roasted coffee beans at home for myself to have a tasty coffee after stressful days at work. I also took it with me to work and everyone was so pleased with the quality of the coffee. Definitely coming back for more. Recommended to many friends of mine and not stopping to do that!'
'I bought 2 bags to be delivered to my home address. As a complete beginner to decent coffee, I asked for help. No question was too small and I've ended up with the best tasting coffee I've ever had. Beats supermarket-bought any day of the week. Thank you for all your help. I will be back.'
