BEST Coffee Shop Caffe ADAMO

Caffe Adamo has some of the finest coffee I have ever tasted! Having spent two months of my life in Italy (the birthplace of lattes and the like) the lattes at Caffe Adamo are better than any latte I had in Italy! The coffee is smooth and non-acidic, yet rich and flavorful, and the lattes are the perfect, velvety froth all-the-way-through (not just a thin layer on top). In fact, if you order in the store, you can get it a ceramic cup with delightful latte art on top.
I love that Caffe Adamo focuses on doing a few things to perfection, as opposed to a large menu done so-so. Besides great coffee, Adamo also has delicious sandwiches and baked goods. Some highlights for me are the outstanding grilled cheese sandwiches and caprice sandwiches. (The best darn grilled cheese sandwich you will ever experience!) When I want something sweet with my coffee, I go for one of their giant, buttery, fresh-baked cinnamon rolls or a marionberry scone. I also love the fact that I have never heard bad music while enjoying my food here, usually alternative, bluesy, or a quality classic. The music also kept quiet enough so that you can study, play chess, or have a conversation.
If you are still getting your coffee somewhere else, it is time to make the switch to Caffe Adamo, one of the finest coffee shops in the world!
