I thought "cup of gold" in Italian was a little pretentious when I first stopped here, but it is the title this coffee deserves.
I wanted to use my coffee passport here, but was disappointed that my cappuccino was only 12oz. I'm used to big coffee, but big coffee doesn't equal "cup of gold". My entire day changed when I drank this coffee. I was late for work and no one cared. It blocked annoying calls from my phone. This coffee filled my hard, shrunken heart with pure joy.
This place is worth a visit if you are in the Highland Park area or if you need a powerful burst of energy and productivity.
Normally coffee just allows me to tolerate people, but Tazza D'oro gave me a genuine smile of empathy and admiration to everyone in the 2 hours after consuming their cappuccino.
