The staff here are very friendly and chatty - this is nice. Half the treat of going to a cafe is the service and this is where the Indy cafes really out shine the corporate cafes. I appreciate this attention to detail.
Double espresso:
Appearance
Medium dark, very foamy creama, watery
Aroma
Roasty, sweet- caramel
Taste
The medium body aroma carries over to the flavour, there aren't any lingering flavours or much depth to the taste profile here. It's not offensive, it's just too light for what I expect of a full bodied espresso. For some reason they have no demitasse cups to serve their espresso in.
Unfortunately the cafe lacks a real espresso machine, they are making due with a home espresso machine - how they could keep up with a rush of orders is beyond me. The taste profile just isn't there, there's no comparison to the variety of flavour you get from freshly pulled shots.
They aren't fresh grinding their beans here either and this is a big pet peeve with me. It's just not the same!
2.5/5
All things considered, there's a lot of room for improvement with the coffee here. They just aren't taking espresso as seriously as the other participating cafes on the Indie Coffee Passport.
However, they are doing a great job with their customer service, but I'm here for the brew!
