| - I love how Caffe Rosso loves coffee. It should go without saying, but I think this is a point that some other coffee shops are missing. Their baristas pull off being coffee geeks without being unapproachable or pretentious. They serve Phil & Sebastians coffee, and take pride in making sure it is freshly roasted and ground.
I tried a pour over coffee for the first time here, and it was a lot of fun watching the technical elements of measuring everything out and carefully pouring the water. The resulting product was pretty incredible, and had a depth of flavor that you rarely get in a cup 'o joe. It came served in a wine glass, which added to the experience of my 5pm coffee. And take note that it is an experience - a good pour over takes time, so don't order one when you are already 5 minutes late for your next meeting.
The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, with wooden tables and chairs brightened by red decor accents. It definitely is the type of place that makes you want to sit down, stay awhile and enjoy your coffee experience. We were there during a slow time, but I think I might be hesitant to try and enjoy this experience during the morning coffee rush. A few points for improvement: the tables are awesomely rustic, but uncomfortably bumpy. Rustic rocks, but when I'm trying to slide my perfection of a drink across the table, the bumps make me sad. I also tried to pitch Rosso to my ****bucks loving sister, and she pouted when they told her they had no caramel... But the latte art made her happy. So yay! I like CR. They are great for coffee lovers, and by adjusting a few small points they will appeal to everyone.
