Very interesting coffee shop on an area of St Zotique that is becoming more hipster cool. What I can appreciate is that here they are attempting to change the coffee scene.
Many countries do coffee different. Vietnamese drink a coffee that is like strong espresso than mixed with ice and condensed milk it forms a delicious iced coffee drink. Italians who some may say invented the modern day Starbucks style focus on a very strong espresso or mix milk to form cappuccino. Cubans mix a heaping spoonful of sugar in espresso and call it Cuban coffee. In Quebec and Canada Tim Hortons really influences coffee culture by serving a medium dark roast and mixing in their cream and sugar to make for a creamy coffee. Bleh...Tims I try to drink as minimal as possible!
Here at Dispatch they do a different roast and it's more of a green roast or lighter roast. Flavour is much more herb like and infuses almost a grain or cereal note. I drank it with no cream or sugar to get the whole taste but it tasted a bit weak to me. If you get a bag of their freshly roasted ground coffee it somewhat resembles fresh marijuana and thus gives off a different flavour.
It's different from other coffee places but I'm not so certain I love it but will concur it's original. I usually prefer an extremely strong Italian espresso roast.
While at our Elite visit Khai mentioned to try one of their fresh made Oreos so I went with one. Decadent, home made and awesome. I could have eaten 2-3 of them but that would be piggly!
The scene here is a bit sterile and mini warehouse feel. People are hanging out coffee house style with computers working or chilling.
