| - My 1st visit to Rosso was short but sweet.
I discovered it by accident whist searching for the pay meter in the Telus Convention Center. Rosso is located right next to said pay meter, on the ground level of the TCC - there's an entrance from inside the lobby, and a street entrance on 8th avenue.
The Barista conveniently noticed that I was in a hurry, so gave me the low-down on the place whilst I rummaged through my mega bag for my wallet. The pastries are made fresh in house everyday; they also make soup in house, and a nice selection of paninis!
(check out my photo of the menu board for menu samples...)
Trusty Americano ordered, muffin stuffed in mega bag, now comes the search for the condiment stand. Unfortunately there was only skim milk & cream on the stand... gross & gross. No worries, Mr. Barista happily provides the whole milk, but my Americano is too hot, maybe even burnt...
This is the only reason for the 4 stars. If you have Caffe, Café, Coffee, Java, Joe, or any translation of the word in your business name, then your core product surely is coffee. IMO, this means you need a damn good cup of brew, and an even better shot of espresso. As espresso is the key ingredient in my Americano, please don't burn it :((
Other than that slightly unnecessary rant - Rosso is pretty splendid and I will definitely check out the Ramsay location.
