Hidden in the labyrinth that is Union station, this quick grab n' go coffee shop really bring a little bit of sunshine to your day. They roast their own beans and the level of quality definitely reflects in the products they serve. I ordered a cappuccino and was pleasantly surprised.
The coffee was bliss. Rich and full bodied. I am definitely not a coffee connoisseur nor do I claim to be. I love my coffees taken like desserts- I actually prefer my caffeinated drinks to be sweeter than most desserts I enjoy. I dislike bitterness and quite a baby about it. However, this is one of the rare occasions that I was able to enjoy the cappuccino as is without added sugar. The coffee had a very pleasant taste and the expected bitterness was muted, there was a slight enjoyable aftertaste of sweet notes following each sip. The foam provided a nice yet rich mouth feel with every sip. I quite enjoy the addictive quality of the different range bitter to sweet progression. I've never had quite the experience, it was good to the very last drop.
The price is a lot steeper, but almost expected for the area. However, in fairness the service and quality will somewhat justify the tag. I love watching the barista artfully pour out the foam art.
Overall, I love the experience. I would go back from time to time, when I'm not too broke. Would definitely recommend this to anyone that wants to experience good coffee. Their menu is not extensive but cover all the basis for drip coffee and espresso drinks-I appreciate that I didn't need to stand there and stress over too many options when I'm yet to be functional (aka uncaffeinated).
