  • I'm sure some fans of this place will immediately see the two star rating I've given it and gasp (and I was considering one star), however I'm basing this rating on the one thing that I walked in for, that being espresso. I had ten minutes to kill at work, so after consulting Yelp for the closest cafe, I walked down the street to Reba's to get a shot. It looked promising online, boasting organic fair trade beans. Upon walking in, my eyes scanned the bar and my immediate reaction was to retrace my steps out the door when I saw the home (as in not professional) espresso machine. I didn't have time to go back to work and search out another cafe in this unfamiliar neighbourhood, so I decided to bear it, but not without suggesting first to the "barista" that the shop really needed to upgrade their machine as they weren't doing their lovely selection of beans any justice. His response was "you'd be surprised". I asked for a double shot. He loaded it up, ran a shot and was about to run a second blast of water through the same head with the same used grinds (ummm) when I quickly stopped him and said "no, no, that will be fine". As any other espresso aficionado may have guessed, I was NOT surprised. As not to be insulting (I could have pulled a Badalamenti, Mulholland drive performance http://movieclips.com/y5A6-mulholland-dr-movie-bad-coffee/ ) I drank my glorified drip coffee and paid up with another "cafe" crossed off in my mental notebook. If you're looking for a good shot, look elsewhere. It's a shame that this place has to do so poorly in this area because everything else seemed great about it. The food looked good, the wholesale beans looked good, the rooms looked good (the reasons I gave two stars instead of one). The bottom line is that If you're going to have the word "cafe" in your name (a European term, and in Europe coffee=espresso) then I think you should have your espresso game honed. At least buy a professional machine and have some concept of what a good shot looks like.
