| - I was in Calgary for the week again, and decided to try a couple different coffee places near the hotel I was staying at. Alforno was a short walking distance away, and it was open later than other places nearby - perfect!
Since it was in the evening, I ordered a double-shot soy decaf latte, and a nutella croissant. I had to wait quite a while for my coffee, even though there was just 2 guys who'd ordered a while before me standing there.
I waited patiently, and watched the guy make my coffee. I left and walked around downtown. When it was cool enough to drink, I tasted the coffee, and it was the worst coffee I've ever had in my life. It was extremely burnt tasting. Like maybe it had been sitting for hours? I don't know, or maybe that's what this place thinks is good coffee (there's a place in Anchorage that consistently over-roasts their beans and tastes burnt more often than not). Anyway, I tried to make it through a couple more sips, and ended up trashing it.
I ate half of the nutella coissant. While flakey, it was quite dry, approaching that 'day old' texture. It did have good flavor, but after the unacceptable coffee experience, and so many other options, I'd rather take my business elswhere.
