The exterior art-deco styling heralded a promising coffee experience, in addition to the pre-opening advertising that I had seen previously. The interior was alright, but smaller than expected, and did not live up to my expectations. I ordered an Americano. When it was ready, one of the staff put it down on the counter that I was standing in front of. To my alarm, the staff member tripped or slipped, and ended up sloshing about a quarter of my Americano on the counter and the floor. If I had not reacted quickly and stepped back, I would have been wearing my Americano. To my surprise, the staff member who spilled my Americano perfunctorily said "sorry", and proceeded to clean the counter and the floor. Shortly after, the barista offered me a card for a complimentary drink. Neither of the staff seemed particularly disturbed by the episode, as if it was a reasonably frequent occurrence. Perhaps it was. After all that, the most important thing; the Americano was lackluster at best.
Verdict: I would not revisit Analog. Maybe I will try the new cafe opening soon across the way, beside Savio Volpe. read more
