Coffee Search: The Quest For The Ultimate Cup
Since starting my new job, I’ve been searching the downtown blocks for a really great cup of coffee. I’m looking for (1) a quintessentially awesome cup of drip coffee and (2) a perfect latte. So far I’ve explored several of the local alternatives and can happily report that I have located a very fine latte.
The latte frontrunner is Cherry Street Coffee on 3rd Avenue. They have a lovely 3-group La Marzocca and the baristas all seem to be highly skilled at producing both a great shot of espresso and beautiful fine foam.
I haven’t found a really great cup of drip coffee yet. There are a few places nearby that have Clover machines and I intend to give them a thorough exploration in the next few weeks. But for espresso drinks, take a bow, Cherry Street! You’re a winner.
