This location of De Mello seemed pretty new (it wasn't there last time I was in the neighborhood), so I figured I'd give it a shot. I was intrigued by the Iced NomNom, so I decided to go with that. I'm so glad I did, because it was seriously good. Rich and sweet, it was the perfect iced coffee-based drink for a hot day. (I enjoyed it so much, in fact, that I bought a box of the instant version for home and I've been drinking it every day. It's just so good!)

The…read moreratings were high, the photos looked great, and I figured it'd be a safe bet -- so I brought my partner along expecting solid coffee. After trying my vanilla iced latte and my partner's macchiato... I wondered if this place might actually be better known for food or matcha, based on what I've seen in other reviews - the coffee was not good. The espresso beans seemed to be over-roasted, which were quite bitter for our liking as opposed to something more subtly chocolatey and nutty. My iced latte also got watery pretty quickly as the ice melted it seemed, and ended up tasting more like the kind of latte you'd get from a fast-food chain (or the espresso shot was way too long). A bit of a letdown, especially since the two fairly small drinks came to about $18. The space itself is cozy, and I really like the vinyl collection (which earned the 2 stars). That said, the records are noticeably pricey compared to typical vinyl shops like Sonic Boom. A lot of them -- even ones with just Side A -- were priced at $55 and up. I didn't cross-check the barcodes on Discogs, but while I love the curation (especially the focus on Japanese jazz and city pop -- really cool stuff), I find it hard to believe all of them are rare pressings worthy of those $55-to-several-hundred-dollar price tags. As an avid collector myself, I wouldn't come here to buy the records. Service was friendly.

I had a matcha latte with almond milk this time and I was pleasantly surprised, a perfect level of sweetness, and not to mention the foam! I had no idea this was possible with almond milk! I'll definitely be back to try their coffee and a bite.

Cute little hidden gem inside the Farmer's Market!…read more I got the pourover and had a nice little chat with the staff there. They're knowledgeable and it's such a cozy hangout area. You can tell them your preferred roast and they'll pick the beans based on your preference. They have a wide selection of beans and prices vary based on brand, but they're pretty much between $19-27. I'd definitely pick up some more beans next time I'm in the area! This time I got 42 because I told them I make espresso drinks (eg latte) at home, so they picked something for me. My drink took about 7 minutes and it was full of flavour. It came with some biscoff, so it was a perfect match. They used the Chemex and did a double pour lol The staff told me they recently took over the soup business from a fellow vendor (within the market), so they've been getting busy trying to manage all the orders and customers. There's also these homemade jellys which are good for souvenirs/gifts!

Java Works is a little more corporate and they do not sell beans in bulk. What happens here? Roasting, e-commerce, & there is an on-site retail store, but that is not heavily marketed, according to one of the owners, Frank. The bags of whole beans is less expensive than what's on their website. Frank was kind enough to make me a latté from their Bravado line of espresso beans. It was very good, smooth, and did not need sugar. I didn't feel as free to sample because they didn't have an automated machine like Muldoon's. The two friendly ladies who worked at the front were also behind desks, so they don't have a dedicated sales person who is catering to walk-in traffic. However, I don't think it would be an issue if you wanted to taste a coffee before you purchased it! Despite its corporate appearance, it still did have a family-run feel to it. Heck, the founder, Spiros (in his 70s/80s even) still works there to this day!!!

If you are working some regular office hour (9-5 M-F), you might never able to come to experience the Tasting Bar unless it is your day off. But I tell you, it is well worth it if you are an avid coffee lover. Of course you can also just order what you like off the menu. Pour over, Chemex, Espresso, Cold Brew. Talk to the nice barista if you are not sure what to order. But if you have time, I definitely recommend the tasting menu. 3 different roasts with 3 different brewing methods. BTW, I have always been a Tre Aro and Crafted fans so I really enjoyed my experience here. Maybe one day I can do some coffee cupping here. The aroma of roast coffee beans on site is just so intoxicating.
