"Yes, you should go to Marissa Ferola’s long-awaited Korean American bakery, which just opened in Huron Village this summer, for the baked goods. But the coffee program is equally worth lining up for. This isn’t the first time I’ve seen a coffee program billed as cocktail-esque in its execution, but in practice, the idea typically translates into a longer-than-usual wait time for a pour over. Not so at Nine Winters. The Jeju Island involves a small dollop of orange marmalade mixed with a salted coffee tonic and poured over ice; the flavor profile was unlike any coffee I’d had before — fizzy, salty, a bit sweet, and a whole lot of fun. I had sipped half the drink before my brain was convinced that this was, in fact, a coffee, and I’m already eyeing the Galbi, featuring a fat-washed medium roast coffee, for my next visit." - Erika Adams
