Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology

Noted

Sparse signal

Confidence23% coverage / 2 of 7 signals

Score is heavily shrunk toward 50; treat as a placeholder until more sources arrive.

How confidence affects the score

Coverage measures signal availability, not cup quality. Missing sources are dropped, remaining weights are renormalized, and the result is shrunk toward a neutral 50 baseline by 43% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.

Vice City Bean (often referred to as City Bean Roasters) is mentioned in the context of the Los Angeles specialty coffee scene. A user specifically recommended their Honduras Gea roast as a high-quality option for home espresso enthusiasts. There is very limited discussion regarding the roaster beyond this specific recommendation.
