This is as close you can get to a real italian coffee bar. It's not a third wave coffee shop. Nobody will serve you a chemex with coffee roasted yesterday, and you will not have any cupping sessions. It is also the complete opposite of Starbucks. Nobody will care if you're lactose intolerant here, just drink your espresso black, it's great as it is. Ain't no time to be bothered with skimmed milk when we all know most of you will eat a sugary pastry with it. You get in line and you better know what you need and you better keep it simple. That's what I love about this place.
