Can't think why kingseven would recommend the Red Roaster, not with those two big La Spaz's glinting away on the counter.
Seriously though, got there an hour early and found the place at about 9.15am. Ordered a double espresso and double cappucino, mainly because I drink caps mostly, but if the chance to have a decent shot arises than you really should take it up. And what can I say, pretty damn fine coffee, and those four shots in 15 minutes will wake you up
. But there were other things beside the coffee!
Baristi were busy, queues nearly out the door, so just pleasant, not friendly and chatty, but better than most places. Decor great, proper leather sofas, slightly shabby chic, but nice, bit tatty round th edges, but aren't we all.
However the clientelle, strange really, several people actually talked to me, unbidden and without cash changing hands
must be something to do with the coffee. I think the love and attention that they put into it infuse the clientelle.
I am sure this is a subject that has been discussed many times, but one of the many wonderful things about good coffee, and even more so, good cafes is the atmosphere, making this one of the best cafe/coffee experiences this year.
So thanks to everyone for the recommendation
