Reviews for Black Bar Cafe

Evaluated as espresso. Bright but juicy. Orange, cedar, green grape, vanilla-toned caramel in aroma and small cup. Creamy, effervescent mouthfeel; sweet, long, citrusy finish. Maintains chocolate and orangy citrus character in three parts milk.

Evaluated as espresso. Spicy and quite complex. Vanilla, fresh peppercorn, cedar, baker’s chocolate, mango, a hint of flowers in aroma and small cup. Lightly syrupy mouthfeel; lively, quietly flavor-saturated finish. Simplifies in three parts milk, though the dry chocolate note fattens and sweetens and the spice and mango suggestions survive.

Evaluated as espresso. Deep and balanced aromatics that suggest tart green apple, sweet plum with jasmine-like flowers that follow into the small cup and comingle with cocoa powder, citrus zest, walnut and a spicy note that is reminiscent of cinnamon or ginger. Leanish mouthfeel with a slightly syrupy edge. Cocoa powder turns to a bakers chocolate and the spicy note transforms into cedar-like aromatic wood in a dry finish. Nicely balanced in two-thirds milk; bakers chocolate persists while the steamed milk adds a sweet nuttiness.
