| - Spectacular espressos. I don't know what I can say about anything Sam does without sounding like a 16-year old gushing over Bieber.
Finally dropped in at the "pocket" the other night for the first time, hoping they were doing some sort of one year anniversary similar to the Coffee Bar (they gave away free coffee for the whole day). Sam James wasn't there, but the barista was equally competent. Ordered an espresso, loved it, ordered a latte to go.
For anyone who complains about the space being too small, I would reiterate my philosophy about espresso bars. They are suppose to be standing room, bar counter, drink and leave. Italians usually stop by the espresso bar in the morning on their way to work, or take one just after lunch, or take one just before heading home. I'm glad the pocket is basically that, with really awesome Annex grunge (music, menu, high ceiling). If you would like to sit and sip, best go to a proper café and save us espresso junkies the space in the pocket.
