Receiver Coffee - Brass Shop — Restaurant in Charlottetown

We were really looking forward to coming here today after reading reviews and always being in pursuit of great coffee spots. As a passionate and talented barista, my partner always shows a genuine interest in different brews etc. (stuff I know far less about but I always appreciate scouting out quality spots with him). I ordered a cappuccino and was surprised it had zero froth and literally burnt my mouth when I tasted it. Rarely does my partner take anything back but he insisted he would and politely took it to the front to point out that the drink had zero foam.

Receiver is an exceptional establishment. The flavour profiles of their roasting is a bit on the wild side for my exact preference, but that is just my personal preference. But perhaps the unique profiles is one aspect that makes them a stand out. Let me say this: a trip to the island just to go to receiver would be worth the trip if you are a coffee connaisseur. The quality of roast and extraction is among the best I have ever had. Might be a bit hipster for some people, but you don't acheive this level in a craft by being normal. The whole place is a work...
