66 Espressos Later...

Yes I counted... And I'm just getting warmed up. Beautiful day in Minneapolis and got a pleasant surprise at the N.E. Farmers Market when lo and behold... espresso! And a Senesso machine and people that know what they were talking about. They're called Public Coffee House and should be opening up a new shop end of July so more on them later. Onwards...

Here is the view when drinking espresso at Wilde Roast...


Excellent atmosphere in this eclectic laid back but classy establishment. Oscar Wilde themed all around with lots of space and comfy lounge chairs, oh and food! This is definitely a place to hang and chill. The espresso beans were from Duluth's Alakef Coffee Roasters and were "smooth and delicate" as they advertise but the pull was pretty overextracted and therefore didn't really bring out any of the important qualities the beans may have been hiding. If you like your espresso "American Style" then you'll probably be happy but I find the best espressos need some acidity and bite to them and less extraction. I like smooth and syrupy, tangy and acidic espressos the old school Italian way... 3/5 shots.

If you like your baristas "hunky" then go Wilde...
