Blacksmith Coffee Shop

Iron sharpens iron. There are many a blacksmiths in this village and so to be the best you have to craft the best.

There are plenty of spots to park your steed which is a welcome surprise for the location. After entering you approach the anvil and request your weapon of choice. After a heartful explanation of the Champions Cappuccino, I made the purchase order. The blacksmith worked with a steady hand to bring me my arms with a couple bonuses thrown in.

The vibes inside are mixed. People are working, some chatting in business clothes, and some reading. I enjoyed the mix of clientele. There are a small number of tables inside and outside, but I can see it filling up quick. Even with the amount of parking spots open there still wasn’t much places to sit. My hand was forced in choosing a table in the middle of the room instead of a preferred spot against the wall.

Since I was given three items I’ll review the supporting cast first. The shot of espresso was very acidic in a good way. I swirled each sip around my mouth and the acidity would fade away leaving a more citrusy note in its wake. The sparking water was lemon flavored and it was nice to hydrate after remembering that I hadn’t had any water yet in the morning.

The cappuccino was both strong and slightly sweet. The barista explained the process to me and it sounded complicated. Nothing I can recite here. I do remember it having a foam top that adds the sweetness element. It was delicious and easy to drink. I love a good cap and don’t normally enjoy the specialty versions as much. However, this is clearly a labor of love with lots of testing and thought put in.
