The espresso was a well balanced solid shot with good flavor, just a bit bitter but none the less I found it uninspiring . Frankly, at $3.40 for an espresso, I was expecting more. The place itself, as others have mentioned, is very nice, staff was friendly.... Coffee is good but not on par with places like Fahrenheit or Te Aro etc. That being said, in this part of town it is most likely your best bet.
