I happend to come across this great little secret place while passing through the beautiful / trendy Parker Meridien hotel lobby. The epresso I drank was absolutely the best I've ever had. I didn't want to write about this place, because I don't want this spot to become to popular so I can have it all to myself, but the owner is such a nice guy, I thought I would do my part in spreading the word. Pros: amazing coffee, really friendly staff, beautiful enviroment more

The state of espresso drinks in this city is sad indeed. It's not just inconsistant finished product (often not hot enough) and consistant mediocre flavor of the drinks at ""you know where"" but everyone making espresso drinks in the chain stores seem to think lattes are""espresso o laits"" with no foam(caps and lattes both have foam-it's the proportion that differs). I can't convey the joy when I found this little gem of a coffee bar in the lobby of the Meridienne Hotel. Espresso with real flavor(not overroasted) and Lattes made with the right mix of milk and foam and the price no higher than Starborings. Their staff is a joy and they also sell interesting hard to find products/gifts in their shop. Stand-up only but perfect for take out. Pros: Flavorfull product, Interesting gifts, Great staff Cons: No seating more
