Coffee: Wooden Whisk Blend (Via Single Origin Roasters)
Passion: 8/10
Crema: 8/10
On the recommendation of a twitter friend who said I had to try this place out, I did as told and sought out this awesome (wooden) cafe. The atmosphere in here is so distinct. Think… modern wood and stone. Nice, warm, and inviting. Certainly a great start even before ordering the coffee.
But as it was the coffee I was here to try… I was thrilled to see that these guys not only offer single origin coffees, they rotate them through out the week. It is this sort of thing which will enhance the experience of customers and gradually show them the range that coffee can offer (in the right hands).
The first one I had here was a double espresso from the Costa Rica single origin they had going. It was a full bodied, syrupy, dense coffee that had a slight zesty mid range flavour and a smooth warm finish. Very enjoyable. As the cup cooled down I was able to smell a hibiscus flower and honey aroma. This would probably make a very interesting batch coffee….
I followed that up with an espresso from their house blend (with a dash of water in the cup to help it open up). It was surprisingly good as well. Slightly more citrusy than the single origin, but equally robust and complex. Nothing to complain about here either… 🙂
With service his friendly, and atmosphere this inviting and coffee this good, it is hard to go past as the go to cafe for this area.
