After 5 minutes in this place it's pretty clear that they have a lot of regulars and that's nice to see and is an obvious fit with the neighbourhood. The food they are making smells phenomenal and I really like the massive chalkboard menu wall. I can't help but admire the the vintage Italian Elektra espresso machine.
As usual I ordered large black americano. I don't find it has any robust flavour, tastes pretty watered down and I did order a double. Regardless, it's smooth and has a decent mild flavour. I'm left wanting full strength espresso and that's coming up next.
Double espresso:
Aroma
Very sweet brown sugar with floral accents. It's hard to ignore the freshly baked spinach pie smell that is teasing my nose.
Appearance
Very watery, tons of light and foamy crema.
Taste
Unlike the americano, the espresso packs a real quick punch to the front of my mouth/tongue. Very robust and rich flavour for a moment and then very little is left behind. I would discribe the flavour as spicy with dry very dark chocolate notes. This one is surprisingly complex with layers of flavour.
4/5
I'm very caffeinated now.
