T.A.N. Coffee (992 Queen St W)

I am truly amazed with the coffee roaster at the front of the store, and I'm in luck because they are roasting beans. The smell is intoxicating and wonderful. Unfortunately, the espresso was pretty sub par and took an eternity to get from the rude employees that don't greet the customers, nor apologize for the wait.

Double espresso:

Appearance
Looks like watery sludge, no crema, grey in colour and very oily. I don't think it was made correctly because it only seems to be one shot.

Aroma
Bitter and heavy, very slight caramel.

Taste
I don't really want to drink this, it doesn't look very nice. It has a very bitter taste, and oily texture. There are grounds in my cup too which sucks.

1/5

Not overly impressed with this place, mostly because of the terrible service. The unique-ness of having on-site bean roasting is neat though. Perhaps this is just a place to buy fresh roasted coffee and nothing more.
