Same, all of those third wave specialty hypetrain shops serve unpalatable crap. It's acceptable in a dairy drink as they mellow down the flavors, but that's not what I think "special" should imply.
You know where you get a decent espresso? Some Italian ice cream parlor. And they didn't inflate the prices as much either, since it's not their core product.
lol my favorite espresso spot in my area is a gelato bar
I did find a good shop in an Italian bakery. That's a good tip. The one I visited today though was all up their own ass about roasting their own beans and doing off the equipment but I'm the end it was terrible
Yeah I had the same experience a couple times. The more snobbish they are, the worse it tastes. Bloody hipsters.
....who didn't? The hypothetical ice cream shop?
Yep. Can't speak for all of them of course, but the ones around me increased the price of an ice cream scoop from 50 cents to over 2 bucks, but the espresso didn't even go up 20% in the same time.
