This place promised much.
Large warehouse set up, coffee roasting out back, bustling with business, Stevie Wonder on the speakers, a couple of branded Artisti vans outside, water on 'coffee tap' and free wifi. They were even offering free tasters of their "cold drip" coffee.
A lot to live up to.
Our flat whites came in a matt black cup and saucer, to match the black table tops. Served at perfect temperature, the coffee was complex. At least 4 different flavours are involved here.
Attack was popcorny and sweet, turning bitter and strong for the middle... Which lasted for a very long time, before ending milky and creamy, and lingering smokeyness. All in all, this takes around 10 seconds.
As I said, complex.
Perhaps too complex and / or unbalanced?
Honourable effort, but after much discussion, we decided that we just don't like it.
