Founder-run

The Big Picture

Genuinely Independent

Bolo Bolo is one founder, one Cobble Hill storefront, and no outside money in any record — Isha Koya opened it in October 2025 and works it herself. The coffee comes from Joe Coffee, a named NYC roaster. Nine months in, the record is clean everywhere a record could exist — the only caveat is how little history there is to check.
