Second cafe of the day. Ordered a pricey ($4.43) cafe mocha with my passport. Staff is curt and not very friendly - two thumbs down for customer service here. About half the store is dedicated to raw coffee bean sales and coffee related equipment - this is quite impressive.
The mocha is tastey - dark rich cocoa flavour, but not much coffee taste. Seemed to take a while to prepare so I guess that's reflected in the higher price. I'm not much of a mocha guy as I find them too sweet, but this is nice, I just want more espresso taste.
Double espresso:
Appearance
Very dark, watery, decent marbled crema
Aroma
Robust, and intense, roasty and slightly sweet with a hint of spiciness
Taste
Packs a strong punch at front of mouth/tongue, roasty and dry, spicy notes linger on whole palate. I pick up some brown sugar sweetness after a few sips. This is a decent shot.
3/5
The service is definitely lacking here :(
