I really wanted to like this place. Unfortunately I think this shop is stuck doing things a certain way and hasn't caught up to modern coffee standards. I just made a cup from the beans I bought here on my Chemex and it's terrible. Both bags of beans I purchased are so dark. And they're supposed to be their lightest coffees, the Tanzania and Ethiopia. A red flag was that the beans have no roast date so I have no idea how fresh they are. I'm sure this place is fun if coffee means lattes full of sugar but if you're looking for quality black coffee, look elsewhere. They can't even tell you what the espresso blend is. Come on, like it's a secret recipe instead of a distinguishable flavor profile. OK guess I just have to hope that I'll like it? The only reason this isn't one star is the employees were friendly. I'll end up donating $16 worth of beans to friends who don't know better.
