What to order

  • A cortado or flat white — To judge espresso and milk.
  • Pour-over — To taste the beans.
  • Drip coffee — If you need it fast.
  • A pastry — If baked in-house or by a good bakery.

How to spot a good one

  • Fresh-roasted beans — Roasted within the last few weeks, with a roast date on the bag. Many good shops roast their own or name their roaster.
  • Espresso pulled with care — Not bitter or sour. A good cortado or flat white is the easiest test.
  • Milk steamed properly — Silky microfoam, not big bubbles or scalded milk.
