| - My complaints about Henderson's poor quantity of local owned business have finally been heard! And we now have a new coffee shop in the area that's brewing a lot of attention
Setting: Located in the Kmart plaza on Horizon Ridge and Eastern, it is behind the jackinbox/bank by the pei wei. A sign on the outside that screams super cool, has an aesthetic treat for those interested in the dark arts, lightning bolt scars, and magic. HARRY POTTER THEMED! The interior is like a cocktail bar you'd find somewhere in diagon alley.
Service: I was greeted by a young guy during their soft opening who was cordial and very excited to be a part of this experience. A gentleman who brought my coffee to me, appeared to be the co-owner and was especially kind. Offering to bring me sugar, cream to my table, a back rub, but I had to decline.
Coffee: The main three blends to choose are sumatra, ethiopia, and brazil. I chose the Sumatra v60 which honestly is the best coffee i've ever had! You could really taste all the mild notes of blueberries with barely any acidity.
Drip: Your traditional coffee machine
V60: Is a type of pour over that achieves a faster brew utilizing a larger opening for water through the filter that requires steady pouring to achieve the desired flavors.
Aeropress: A device that supposedly yields coffee with smoother taste and lower bitterness by utilizing ideal water temperatures, and gentle air pressure.
Kyoto: A giant apparatus that utilizing ice and a much slower brewing process to filter out all the acidity from the oils of the coffee beans to bring out a much richer, acid free brew. (Not available when I was there)
Overall: This is a great place for people who can really appreciate unique brewing methods to bring out the best flavors of coffee. Not a place to study but more geared towards couples or groups wanting to just spend some time together.
