"At Madman Espresso, a tiny coffee bar chain with an extreme Italian bent that I’ve long extolled for its baked goods (more than its exceedingly strong and bitter coffee), they squeeze housemade focaccia in a sandwich press with fillings like mortadella, gorgonzola, and—for no apparent reason—extra pistachios ($8); the cheese melts while the mortadella only warms slightly." - Robert Sietsema
