This café is something of an oddity. They brand themselves as "espresso - deli - Hawaiian BBQ". Sure enough, that's what they do. There's heavy Illy branding on and in the place -- empty industrial-sized cans line the walls, framed posters, etc. There are a few tables for dining, and the staff is courteous in serving you there. Using a UNIC Twin Rumba, they pull espresso shots very high to the rim of the Illy-logo designer IPA cups. It comes with a pale brown crema, and the pour size makes the espresso rather thin and watery. It tastes of a diluted pepper with some wood and a slightly sour edge.
