I ordered a long black hoping to taste the flavor notes written on their bag, but what I tasted instead was a lot of nothing. To be clear, I bought their Kenyan single origin beans that I've yet to try and I'm hoping for a better experience brewing the coffee myself. I went ahead and bought the bag because I saw a long line behind me and my past experience with any single origin coffee beans have been good. I was a bit disappointed not to see any "roasted on" date, which is usually an indicator by the roaster of their craftsmanship. Great roasters often add a "roasted on" date to let coffee aficionados know the freshness of the beans. Older coffee beans lose their flavors and anything older than 1-2 months are normally considered undesirable. Furthermore, I was surprised that the person who checked me out for the single origin beans had no idea what they were. I had to point out "Single Origin" on their menu for them to realize I was referring to their specialty coffee beans. They do have a cute menu and a small seating area inside. They roast their beans onsite and I watched the roaster work behind a glass window while I was there. Overall, I wasn't too impressed by their coffee, but it's possible I ordered the wrong drink.

I stopped by for a quick hit before setting off on a bike ride, and loved the whole setup. Apparently, this spot is the "local" for the 9 AM junkies too :) Flat whites are about $4, espressos run about $2-3, and smiles are free and aplenty. They take Eftpos too, which is a major win. Save your gold coins for the roadside fruit stands!
