Oh my what a coffee place!! Fantastic coffee. The 'Cloudy' was just awesome. With a peanuts. It was good it the last drop. Practically you may lick it to last drop 😄
Definitely a shop for coffee nerds. Their single origin espresso and pour over menu is awesome and the iced pour over I ordered was immaculate. Their New England drink was great, but doesn’t hold a candle to their pour over. Also love the selection of beans on hand. This is a place that takes its craft seriously and it’s so well-executed that the steep price does not phase me. I’m not local, but I will definitely be back next time I’m in the area.
Flat white with Ethiopia Bishan Wate - 4 stars For this lighter roast I believe they use a higher brew ratio so the texture is on the more watery side. May have gotten a little bit of jasmine but it wasn't very pronounced. Turkey sausage breakfast burrito - 3.75 stars Sausage was on the salty side and seemed to have a strong ?fennel flavour. The potatoes had the same texture as the scrambled eggs.
This place wasn’t exactly what I had pictured. It’s a very casual coffee shop with some seatings to enjoy pastries and coffee. I got their pour over coffee (geisha) that was $10. The price is very steep, but it was different in a good way. They made it well. It was slightly on the citrusy side. I personally like my coffee on the chocolate-y and nutty side, but I just had to try the premium pour-over coffee here. The croissants were good, but I would have preferred them warm, if that was an option. Parking was free for 45 minutes WITH validation. I didn’t like the way a valet guy was talking to me as if I was a second-class citizen because I was a Kumquat patron, and not that of Jonathan Club. But, aside from the rude valet guy, it was a pleasant place to sip away coffee surrounded by skyscrapers.
Specialty coffee store. Sleek & minimalistic, they also sell equipment and other goodies. My flat white was delicious, the hazelnut pastry and the walnut chocolate chip cookie too. Really friendly staff, I was their first customer at when the store opened, and it got crowded right after.
