Have meant to stop here for a while. Got a good americano. Coffee seems reasonably priced per kg!
The guy working there was practically unable to listen to me. Tried having a conversation with him about grinders and buying a potential one and he totally talked over me and actually never once really heard what I was asking. I explained which machine I have but he hadn’t heard of a caggia classic, which really gave me doubts about him first, purely because previous to this he’d be talking as if he really knew his stuff. Then he proceeded to try to finish my sentences and literally talked over me. At one point I looked right at him and said “it would be cool to find out more information about what I’m looking for” loudly and brightly, and he still just talked at me about how he didn’t think about coffee machines anymore because he’s so used to the machine in the shop. Weird experience. Even the other customer beside me was laughing about his complete lack of attention or empathy. Crazy other worldly experience with someone whose ego is pulling the levers more than anything else.
Definitely have no reason to go into that shop again and...
Read moreMy name is Yassmine and i’ll be writing this review based off my experience. Looking at the exterior of the coffee shop, it’s very cozy and feels like home. They even have a display of different coffee essentials, coffee machines, and some coffee beans if you prefer to make your coffee at home. When you walk in, your first sight is the rack / display of items related with coffee. As I said recently, coffee beans, machines, cups { i think! } and more! Next to the counter is a fridge of beverages which you can choose. Orange juice, water etc! When you walk up to the counter, your eyes immediately go to the display of pastries which smell and look quite amazing. I’ve had a few of their croissants before! The first time I came to Doppio I was welcomed in by a barista named Nassima who was so nice and bubbly with me. She interacted with me and gave me all my options! Hot beverages, cold beverages, foods and even asked if I was interested in buying the warehouse’s items. She was so generous with me and it felt amazing considering it was my first time. The coffee shop definitely was an amazing...
Read moreI saw this cafe and thought it would be worth visiting (especially based on the google reviews).
The shop itself is really nice, with the design and layout establishing its own signature - selling coffee products as well, blending into a side of the wall.
Now, I got a latte and almond croissant. The coffee tasted okay, a little on the weak side. The coffee:froth was reasonable. As for the croissant - I suppose because I’ve had them from the likes of Carluccio’s and Gail’s, my expectations are quite high - it was not as enjoyable as I had hoped.
The staff are friendly and welcoming, adhering to social distancing and tending to hygiene measures. There is plenty of seating indoors, which they appear open to.
I will likely have to visit again to determine consistency, but there isn’t much variety on offer to allure me back. If you are around the town and like supporting independent businesses, I would suggest checking...
