An Bui, Spelled An With 1 N

Adam Philipp of AXIOS Law Group called me out weeks ago for my failure to list Espresso Vivace in an earlier blog post, An Bui Lists The Best Coffee Shops - Seattle. So obviously, I had to have coffee with him last night. When I arrived, Adam had just finished speaking with a client, demonstrating Espresso Vivace’s effectiveness as a location capable of faciliating production.

Espresso Vivace - 1, An Bui - 0

I ordered a soy latte, extra hot, no foam, for here. Regrettably, I neither specified short nor did the barista think to ask, so I ended up with a tall soy latte. The soy to espresso ratio leaned too heavily towards soy, with nearly 11 oz of soy to the 1 oz shot of espresso. As an aside, tall should not be the default size - a little too Starbucks-esq.  Espresso Vivace does get credit for having the short size on the menu.

Draw between Espresso Vivace and An Bui

While my latte wasn’t what I had in mind, I can’t fault Espresso Vivace for not having mind-reading baristas. Once I recalibrated my expecations, I have to admit an oversight for not including Espresso Vivace in my original post. Great latte and the barista got my extra hot, no foam down perfectly, without giving me grief.

Winner: Espresso Vivace
