Subrosa Coffee

Location: 419 40th Street, Oakland

Reviewed: November 9, 2009

Espresso: Subrosa serves coffee from Four Barrel. The shot is ground and tamped properly and poured directly into a properly-sized cup. The short shot was fairly bright but not overpoweringly so. It tasted of spiced-orange with a nuttiness to acidity and a floral aroma.

Atmosphere: Subrosa is tiny and contains no seating whatsoever; nor does it have signage. You really do have to look for it twice. The friendly barista told me that there was a courtyard to the side of the building, but as there was no direct doorway, I didn't take a look.

Verdict: Probably the best Four Barrel shot I've had anywhere.

NO seating? But I love a good sit down. I don't know whether that would sorta put me off.

Your reviews are so excellent when you don't want to wade through the pretension of food critics, no flowery hard to understand language - just exactly what I need to know!
