Back to Little Italy, where Manic Coffee is nearby and it was the first cafe I went to as part of the Indie Coffee Passport. The Green Grind is another cafe operating in the sustainability niche, as they get all of their beans from approved, qualifying suppliers. The cafe is bright and modern, they have a large table that caters to lap top toting patrons.
Double espresso:
Appearance
Served in cappuccino cup. Dark thin creama. They are using a locally roasted complex blend of coffees from Mexico, Indonesia, Guatemala, Columbia, and Brazil for their espresso shots.
Aroma
Brown sugary with a slight floral essence. Bright/citrus with a distinct earthy roastiness. Pretty decent balance of the main characteristics of both a light and a dark roast.
Taste
Quite full bodied, flavour hits the front of my tongue with a big bright punch. Roasty flavour lingers for while at the end. I didn't expect this much full body boldness from a blend that's mostly from central America where typically the coffees are medium roasts. I would call the finish a bit dirty as the roasty heaviness hangs around in the back of my throat minutes later. Definitely a coffee to pair with a fruit pastry like the apple bar they offer (in background of picture above).
3.9/5
Very chic interior with an amazing mural, goes well with decent a brew.
