| - UPDATE: Peixoto says: "We actually have 5 distinct and very different single origin specialty coffees available to our customers from farms in Brazil, Costa Rica, and Ethiopia."
I would try another coffee, for sure! When I came in Sat 8/27/2016 shortly after 8am and asked what was available in drip, I was told the Brazilian from the family farm was the only thing available.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
So disappointed! I just didn't like the flavor of their coffee. It's a shame, because they are doing SO much right. They do pour overs at a bar. The beans are roasted onsite. (Their commercial roaster takes up 1/4 of the room!) The interior design is upscale, their people are friendly and knowledgeable. But this single coffee offering is just plain nasty to my palate - grassy and full of non-coffee funk is about the best description I can give of the flavor.
It's sad, because as a home roaster, I am constantly on the prowl for great coffee haunts, and I was excited to try these guys, because they are doing everything right (unlike most).
ALSO:
I forgot to mention - this shop doesn't offer Sweet-N-Low. This stupefies me! Why? The only non-caloric sweetener I saw was the horrific green packet Stevia. I think it's NUTS for a serious coffee house to limit customer choices like this. Anybody willing to pay super-premium prices for single origin specialty coffee is probably pretty devoted to a particular way they drink their coffee! IMO, not offering Sweet-N-Low is crazy. It's not hugely expensive!
