As a coffee enthusiast, I'm always on the hunt for a roastery that truly understands the art of coffee. Sadly, Do Not Feed Alligator misses the mark by a mile. My friend recommended this place, but I'm starting to question their taste!
First impressions matter, and unfortunately, the barista's attitude was as bitter as an over-extracted espresso. I ordered a pistachio latte and an Ethiopia Keramo pour over, hoping for a delightful experience. Before my coffee arrived, I requested a cup of water as a palate cleanser – a standard practice in the world of specialty coffee. The barista, with an audible sigh and a withering glare that could curdle milk, begrudgingly poured me a glass of tap water. Tap water! It was clear that the concept of providing a proper water for tasting was completely lost on them.
And speaking of lost, my pour over was tragically lost in the realm of under-extraction. The resulting cup tasted more like dishwater than a delicate Ethiopian coffee. When I attempted to politely explain this to the barista, I was met with the same disinterest I might receive from a houseplant. Clearly, there's a lack of knowledge, passion, and basic customer service skills at play here.
If you're simply looking for a caffeine fix, this place might suffice. But for those who appreciate the art and science of specialty coffee, you'll only find disappointment and a desperate craving for a real cup of coffee.
