| - Everything about my experience here was perfect, except for one thing: the espresso. I'll get to that in a moment. First, the positives. Mind-numbingly fresh and flaky croissant, perky and attentive help, hip and modern atmosphere, reasonable prices, and perfect location made this coffee bar a great choice.
Unfortunately, the espresso is following the trend of so many hip, new wave, trendy coffee bars across North America, they're sour. Insanely and inappropriately sour. So much attention and detail is put into producing what is an overly sour shot. Either the coffee is too fresh or the temperatures are too low at the beginning of the pull, but it's just not the way espresso should be. Smoothed out by milk, the coffee stands up well, but as a single straight shot, not so much.
If the espresso hadn't been a sour acid bomb, I would have easily given this place five stars.
