Mnemonic Coffee is a queer, women-owned café in Bankers Hill, opened in July 2023 by longtime specialty-coffee pros Gia Giambalvo and Sarah Girdzius and built intentionally as both a coffee and zero-proof drink space. Alongside oat-milk lattes, cold brew, and pour-overs, the team builds creative coffee sodas and mocktails for people who want the communal feel of a café without alcohol — or without downing multiple cups of caffeine. Named non-alcoholic drinks include the Maple St. (maple syrup, long pepper, cinnamon, apple foam, Topo Chico), the Soy Libre (Coke, simple syrup, soy sauce, lime, cinnamon), the cardamom-and-jasmine Ocean Eyes, and the orange-cream-soda-like Zephyr. The 1970s-inspired space keeps daytime hours, Tuesday through Sunday, with pastries from Relic Bageri.
