| - Stopped in for a bit of coffee, and a place to charge my phone. Found a great spot!
Milano has been opened for 8 months now, and originates from Vancouver. Our guy who greeted us was incredibly informative, friendly and cared very much about the service. The menu has pretty extensive variety for coffee lovers (i.e. pour over coffee, lattes, americanos, mochas) and all reasonably priced. I ordered a Hedgehog Mocha, which has 2 shots of expresso, chocolate, and a shot of hazelnut, topped with whipped cream. I got the Regular size ($4), which was more than enough for me to sip on. Large would be $4.8.
My friend tried out their seasonal drink, which was the White Pumpkin latte (name to be determined). We call this the "beta" testing, because they are still crowdsourcing opinions on it. Our opinion? Very nice and smooth, did not have a truckload of "PUMPKIN-SPICE-IN-YOUR-FACE" flavour, which was a nice change from the Sbux PSL. Much more subtle. It tasted festive, but more of a refined pumpkin taste. I loved that they asked us for our opinion and really listened. They explained their process when experimenting with making this new recipe, how many shots of pumpkin flavour, etc....made the experience very personal.
The service was very friendly, and can definitely sense their passion for the coffee bean. Spoiler alert - they will be rolling out a holiday menu soon, so I'm excited to come back to see!
P.S. - they have an outlet almost at every sitting spot, so ideal for a "recharge" (get it?)
