Tastes phenomenal too! This is JBird Cafe, in Charlottesville, Virginia. This is the only shop I’ve ever been to that seems to really take their time on presentation. To me, it adds a whole other level of satisfaction.

What are the little French fry looking things in the spoon?

Candied orange peels! (I asked for extra, they usually just give you like 3-5, but they’re delicious so I asked for a ton)

I wonder how to get crema as nice looking as that. Any time I pull a shot the crema is there but has a lot of larger bubbles

Not a rare occurrence in American shops at all haha. Practically every third wave coffee shop in the US presents their coffee this way. you just aren’t going to the right places

Forgive my ignorance, why is it presented with sparkling water?

I usually rate cafes for their espresso on presentation, barista knowledge of the coffee, flavor, and sometimes milk steaming. For presentation top is glass of cold water, spoon, proper cup, and a garnish, all on a tray.

I’m glad you enjoyed it! but it’s funny — specialty shops have been doing this for 15 years. Usually with some more flair. Seen a lot of contrived setups with cups and spoons sliding around. At least the tray has a lip 😅

sparkling water ? I didn’t know. Is it ” better ” than still water?

Are you in prison?
I love JBird! I get their el jefe/el camino/eagle fang subscription.
I’ll check this place out next time I’m in Charlottesville. I get most of my coffee from Blanchard’s in Richmond. 🙂
