"You can find hand tampers, steamer wands, and baristas who think they’re too cool for you at any Seattle cafe. But at Ghost Note, cocktail shakers are also part of their coffee-making toolkit. A lot of precision goes into their caffeinated drinks—as evidenced by a cold espresso infused with smoked grapefruit rosemary syrup and served neat in a coupe. We’re big fans of the malted mocha that comes with drinking chocolate and orange rind. But the greatest concoction is the espresso float. It’s essentially a creamy iced latte cut with local root beer. There isn’t much space to spread out, but a drink to go will be the best thing to happen to your car’s cup holder." - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente
