Everybody settle down. This place ain't that good.
First let's talk about the coffee. I went to this place expecting espresso bliss and, while competent, it's not genius. To be fair, part of the issue for me is a taste preference. I'm a cappuccino drinker and I prefer velvety chocolate caramel notes in my espresso. The espresso was extracted fine but was too bright and acidic for my preference. The milk was frothed decent but not perfect.
I might give these guys three stars if it wasn't for the following secondary things.
The croissant was overly doughy and dense and didn't have a wonderful flavour.
My wife ordered a hot chocolate and they dumped some chocolate milk from a carton into the pitcher and steamed it up. Now, if this were to produce the tastiest chocolate milk known to humanity then I'm all for it. But it didn't. It was lacking in flavour and overly sweet. I know this place is supposed to be about the coffee, but cocoa is a close cousin. Put some friggin' love into it!
I didn't get the friendly or neighbourly service that others are going on about.
I'm all for small specialized places. But if you are going to have no comfort or ambiance you better make up for it with tremendous quality and service.
