COMMENTS
Great atmosphere, love the random eccentric/antique décor. They get their beans from Oasis Coffee in Norwalk. And, the latte was pretty bad. The steaming wand was caked with old milk, the espresso sat for about a minute after rushing out of the portafilter. And then the girl didn’t wipe off the wand (again). The milk’s temperature was brought up too high (like around 180 or 190 or maybe even higher), which she did for everyone I was with as well. Also big humungo bubbles. Again, wish I had taken a picture with my phone. It was a very ugly drink. You would cringe at the crazy-big dark brown bubbles atop the “latte.” Will try to remember drink pics next time. So, in summary, great place to hang out, uber-faux-trendy with their crazy monkey chandeliers, but horrible unforgivable coffee prep.
