The man staffing the small cafe was incredibly happy to talk to us. He offered us some cool, weird stuff - I forgot the exact word he used. He was very into coffee - he showed us a range of beans that he's brewed recently, all of which were incredibly unique. He said he'd surprise us.
He gave us a shot of espresso, beans pictured, which smelled strongly of strawberries and roses, and had a sweet, plummy flavor. I was thoroughly impressed.
A man walked in the store, big bag in hand, and asked for the manager. He offered the barista a taste of his dairy alternative, which he said he was selling. It was a blend of young and old coconut milk. The salesman was infatuated with his own product, explaining that he's never seen or tasted anything like it since he went to Mexico.
The barista gave us sparkling water in this incredibly heavy cup. There was some sharp acidity at the end, which I don't like, but the flavor was very plummy.
The most notable aspect of the coffee was the strong flavor of strawberries and roses. It was incredible. But I feel like the acidity of espresso that comes at the end, perhaps it is bitterness, makes me feel ill, and I don't like it. Regardless, it was a very interesting coffee. Unfortunately I might like some milk on top of my coffee…
