I am quite torn while writing this review. It feels like it is an above average coffee shop in Fort William. The cake I had was quite nice and fresh.
BUT! They advertise themselves as specialty coffee shop. Well, is it, really? Their beans (Rocco Espresso) for sale do not have roast date, just BBE date. Never mind it's pre-ground. The cappuccino I had (no flat whites in the menu?) was worse than I expected. The foam was far from micro foam and did not bond to milk at all. I am not too fussed about the lack of latte art (it is taken as granted in specialty coffee shops as it shows that barista knows what he/she is doing), but chocolate sprinkle on top? Seriously?
I wish I had espresso, but I'm afraid I would have been even more disappointed.
The premises look good and as it is quite small coffee shop, one unisex toilet did not bother me too much. Free wifi is only for 30 minutes and requires signing in. read more
