| - So, I just bought my husband a pretty fancy espresso machine for his birthday. Obviously, he is spoiled. But more importantly, he is very into coffee and I am therefore along for the ride. We are now on a combined mission for some locally and recently roasted beans. First step is to get into the CLE coffee scene, right? So we saw Gypsy Beans on Yelp and decided to stop.
Apparently a grimy coffee joint containing unpleasant, rash employees now deserves a 4 star rating. I just don't get it. Yes, we had some slightly annoying questions about where his beans are roasted and sourced from, but come on! He was straight up rude. Might as well have said, "Can you please shut up and give me your money now?"
So, we ordered. Me - a vanilla latte. Tasted okay, but doesn't anything containing liquid sugar? Tasted my husband's cappuccino and ewww...just bitter. The milk was either foamed by a first timer or just someone who didn't give a sh*t (wow I am officially a yuppie).
My biggest problem: crumbs and dirtiness wherever you look. Gross. I am not normally one to notice things like this, but there was so much gunk under the espresso machine that I think it was developing into some sort of being.
I know this was a harsh review, but ugh....I just really got the creeps about this place. It makes us even more excited to return to Rising Star Coffee for some amazing beans and great advice.
