The pics by fellow YEB/YDB drew me to this place as the espresso drinks looked quite nice.
The setup initially looks nice but at closer inspection shows the missteps as am not sure what the theme is here (metallic moose heads with a name like early bird?!) The behind the counter area is well arranged and there are quite few impressive brewing apparatus.
My friend wanted to try the syphon version so we decided to order a 3 cup version.
Then for good measures ordered a cheese scone and caramel and sea salt brownie.
We anxiously awaited for the coffee as the brewing process is nice to look at (heck anything that involves a live flame and lab looking equipment is sure to draw a crowd)
The scone was forgetful and was very bready for a lack of better word.
The brownie fared better. Now for the main attraction we were given instructions on how to enjoy this coffee to the max. Wait five min and then sip wait some more to get the right flavors.
Hmm I am an espresso drinker so wish I had ordered their espresso based drinks instead or the well recommended cold brew. The syphon version just didn't do it me and oddly it tasted more like a strong tea to me. My friend's opinion was similar and even added milk and sugar to gulp the last cup down.
So far a very average showing though I will come back and try their espresso drinks and update.
