Bitter Coffee

Since I have moved to Kenya from Atlanta, there seems to be a misconception about how black coffee should taste. I have been to The Java House and Dorman's and each time I ask for black coffee no sugar no cream I get this look and always the same phrase "oh you like it bitter".

She was meticulous in her bookkeeping, inventory control and all that stuff for which I have very little patience nor talent. It has… Continue

I would actually point you towards Ost for a purveyor of Intelly. Third Rail does a good job, but Ost has a good amount of seating and some good meat/cheese options going on. If you're interested in anything in Brooklyn let me know, there is a font…

try a latte with twice the amount of vanilla as cinnamon (2 pumps vanilla, 1 pump cinnamon for a 12oz) - you can still clearly taste the cinnamon although not overbearing.
