| - A great find, or better yet, have the GTA's top Yelper introduce you to a cool little espresso bar.
Decorated in light colour wood with booths along one side of the shop, and the kitchen and espresso bar on the other. This CHIC place is truly a gem in Markham. If it had some comfy seats, it could be Markam's "Central Perk."
I was shown the $24K Slayer. That would be their espresso machine. I know these things are expensive but wow! $24K to get every last essential flavours and creama out of a bean, so that overly caffeinated peeps can go on with their day. I would hate to have it go haywire as I don't think people have spares lying around.
The menu is pretty short. Have some form of beans and if you are hungry has a light snack or have a waffle! I had a lactose-free Ethiopian bean latte. Oh...wow...what flavours. How I love the sweet, milky, and burnt caramel-like taste! Can't get that from a Nespresso!
The latte-art is nice to see - however, everyone is doing it. It's cute...to see hearts but maybe for me, you can do something more...manly. Maybe a hammer, a power drill, a football helmet...heck...I'll settle for a golf ball!
Espresso to me is Expresso - you're in and you're out! Had to go next door to Hibiki for lunch. This is such a great aperitif to Sushi - sort of! :D
Oh...by the way, parking is a nightmare. If you find yourself without one...park on the street and it's a 30 second walk to the shop.
I'm going to have to wait for the home version of the slayer. Until then, it's a Saeco world for me.
Cheers!!!
