A top of the line independent coffee roaster is a requisite part of being a city enjoying a revival through arts and good dining, and Rising Star is without a doubt exactly that establishment. The baristas double as educators in a constant process of educating consumers in the world of coffee.
With that in mind, it is definitely worth mentioning that this place is best enjoyed by people who are SERIOUS about coffee. Everyone employee is knowledge and passionate about their products, all of which shows that they are serious about coffee. The fruits of their labor are unique coffees, carefully crafted drinks, and for me, a newfound appreciation of a drink that I depend on to function in the morning.
A coffee or espresso drink from Rising Star has flavors I had never conceived possible in a coffee drink. There is a reason why coffee tasting is emerging as a practice similar to wine tasting.
They are showing a documentary called Coffee Man, can't wait to go see, and it will also probably another deep dive into the world of serious coffee drinkers. At Rising Star, you can do all that in a relaxing environment.
