F'Coffee (641 Queen St E)


Right next to the Carroll St streetcar stop, sits F'Coffee in a quaint strip of shops. The staff are cheery and the atmosphere is very chilled. I really like the decor which is white walls with vintage advertisement posters for companies such as Canadian Pacific and the now defunct TWA.

Double espresso (short):

Appearance
Not served in demi tasse cup, instead in a unique campy floral design cup, with oval saucer. I like.


Aroma
Sweet floral bouquet, with deep rich milk chocolate notes. Slightly spicy, like nutmeg/cloves.


Taste
Bright and punchy at the front of my tongue. Very smooth texture, like creamy milk chocolate. Only slightly lingers on the back of the tongue with a whisper of roastiness. Overall a very easy drinking espresso, with no harshness to speak of. Even as I take my sweet time finishing it, the espresso shots retain nearly all of their flavour, I have no idea how they achieve this as it's atypical of the roast.

4.8/5

This is the highest score so far, I really enjoyed this one and I love how the rich decadent flavour lasts until the final sip - amazing!
