Literally one of the most perfectly prepared single espresso's in the city! Simon doesn't mess around when it comes to providing extraordinary service --- and he surely knows his way around a coffee bar, plus coffee making equipment. So much so, you'd think he was actually born Italian. Regardless, of where he's officially from - he knows his stuff.
While I'm on the subject of great service and hard work; his counter counterpart Ryan is always doing something to keep the ship top shape! In between his duties, he still manages to keep up an outstanding and memorable level of hospitality.
Apart from top shelf level staff the decor is beyond hip - with its pick one; 70s, 80s or 90s colour theme meets authentic Napoleon coffee bar setting.
The music fittingly matches the vibe --- usually either 90s hip hop or classic Italian.
I could go on and on about the perfect mix of Italian specialties from real-deal Italian sweet treats to savory sandwiches (in which to nibble or chew on when sipping your coffee). I'd venture to say they nailed it in the just-the-right-amount-of-choice category.
As per beverages they have a well curated mix of cold and hot beverage, plus an aperitivos list that leave nothing to be desired.
To top off a memorable visit they even have swag which ranges from clothing to bags of coffee roasted and imported from Rome (whole bean or ground) in their signature pink packaging.
Definitely looking forward to my next chance to try more of their offerings -- maybe you can tell by the description, but let me highlight this --- it's the kind of place you don't want to leave. Grazie mille!
