Cold Brew Review – Barista Parlor
Now that Barista Parlor is serving their own coffee, I decided in honor of National Cold Brew day yesterday it was time to try their take on this drink. As usual, Barista Parlor did not disappoint. This was another cold brew that did not compromise flavor or quality. This cold brew was not fruity or…
Cold Brew Review – Revelator Coffee Company
I was really feeling the heat in Nashville yesterday and decided to walk over to Revelator located in Hillsboro Village for some cold brew coffee. I hadn’t tried it in a while, but to my pleasure Revelator’s cold brew was refreshing and full of flavor. The best part of this coffee is its naturally sweet and floral…
Cold Brew Review – Slingshot Coffee
Slingshot’s ready-to-drink cold brew coffee tasted a lot like a coffee stout, to my surprise, at first. As I kept drinking I realized most of the flavor comes from the aftertaste which is slightly woodsy and smokey. The flavor is not super strong, but it is slightly bitter and takes some getting used to. Overall,…

The baristas were really friendly and explained the history of the company to us. The owners fell…

3 Little Figs – Somerville, MA
3 Little Figs is a tiny cafe that constantly has a big crowd. This coffee shop is quaint and elegant, perfect for meeting up with friends. I went on a weekday morning and lines were consistently out the door. Despite the amount of people, customers did not turn away to leave. I could sense how…

Gracenote Coffee Roasters – Boston, MA
This tiny coffee bar nestled right in the financial district of Boston is a nice escape from the busy city. They roast their beans in Allston and have them delivered to this location as well as other cafes serving their coffee. Most of their options are to go, so I ordered a cortado which I…
