    ESPRESSO DRINKS

    Our Bittersweet Espresso Blend is a marriage of several roast profiles and varietals that form a sweet - not bitter flavor. This espresso serves as the foundation for a wide variety of our specialty coffee drinks, but espresso is not a roast at all; it is a method of preparing coffee. Espresso is a small, made to order, concentrated coffee consisting of liquid topped with crema. Some people like to blend it with steamed milk and a sweetener; some like to sip immediately as a “shot” in order to experience its many layers of flavor. This is up to you. We serve it just the way you like it.
    • LATTE

      Latte 1/3 espresso, 2/3 hot milk, thin layer of foam. A cafe latte should have the same glossy finish as the cappuccino. This is pulled with a double ristretto.
      $3.50+
    • AMERICANO

      Americano A touch of hot fresh water and a double shot pulled long. This creates a nice bold, strong coffee taste. The espresso shot is pulled atop the hot water to ensure the consistency of the crema.
      $4.00+
    • CAFE MOCHA

      Mocha 1/3 espresso, 1/6 dark chocolate sauce, 1/3 milk, 1/6 foam. Dark chocolate is the first layer, and then you pull the double espresso shot. Then steam the milk to the consistency of a cafe latte. Bittersweet - cafe mocha is unique because they use dark chocolate with a double shot.
      $5.25+
    • WHITE MOCHA

      $5.25+
    • CAPPUCCINO

      Cappuccino Made in thirds — 1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed milk, 1/3 foam. This is a very traditional way of making cappuccino. The milk should appear glassy, smooth, shiny and with no visible bubbles. The milk and foam should be blended or mixed to create a thick, creamy texture.
      $5.00+
    • CARAMEL MACCHIATO

      $5.25+
    • ESPRESSO

      Espresso One shot of espresso prepared with 14 grams of ground coffee in a double portafilter. The shot should be 2 ounce of liquid. You have two choices with espresso: ristretto, a very short or “restrained” shot, brewed at less than 2/3 of a demitasse, or luongo, a long pull of espresso brewed so the liquid should be more than 2/3 of a demitasse.
      $2.00+
    • ESPRESSO CON PANNA

      Espresso con panna, which means "espresso with cream" in Italian, is a single or double shot of espresso topped with whipped cream.
      $3.75
    • ESPRESSO MACCHIATO 3 oz

      Espresso Macchiato Double espresso with a touch of foam. Macchiato means spotted or stained; the espresso is “stained” with foam. This can be made as a single or a double.
      $3.75
    • GIBRALTAR (CORTADO)

      Cortado 1/2 espresso, 1/2 foam-infused milk. The perfect afternoon drink, or for that coffee drinker who wants something strong, but needs a little milk to soften the espresso as it goes down. This drink is in between a macchiato and a cafe latte. Pull a double shot into a gibraltar glass. The milk should have the consistency of a cafe latte and result in the same glassy, smooth, creamy texture as a cafe latte and cappuccino.

    BAGS OF COFFEE

    ROASTED COFFEE (12 OZ BAGS)
