Their normal espresso blend is too fruity for me. However you can try other types of coffee beans at the "slow coffee bar".

Get your caffeine via the beer ice cream affogato. (Affogato is Italian for FTW).
Thomas McColganMarch 3, 2014
Good coffee and atmosphere, but too hip for proper wifi.
Jeff Reine 🌧April 1, 2016
No wifi so you have to, y'know, talk to someone. Or use your phone.

Only homogeneous milk or almond milk with espresso.

They've got pour over coffee.

Great place to hang out.

Tip your baristas as much (or more than) as your bartenders.
Dan NabavianAugust 7, 2014
Their pour over coffee
Justin DombrowskiJanuary 12, 2016
The quality of the coffee can only be matched by the baristas' pretentiousness.

Kouign aman from B Patisserie! Yes and I'm not sharing!

The almond cake... soooo good.
Angel SauceJuly 21, 2013
Flour-less almond cake was good! Cappuccino was not good, very bitter and I did not enjoy it. The girl that works the four barrel coffee stand inside was rude. Not worth coming back.
June ParkAugust 19, 2017
Hipster cafe with ok cafe. Blue bottle is better
The Bold ItalicJune 15, 2011
