Best Coffeehouse

Everything at Balconi is engineered to ensure that you fully appreciate your cup of coffee. There is no wifi, for example, and the shop doesn't open until 10 a.m. because, as a barista explained, most people who take their coffee before 10 rarely have the time to appreciate their cup, so what's the point? If you do take the time to drink here, you'll see his point: each cup is brewed in a siphon filter and deserves the attention of all five of your senses. Indeed, you'll be asked if you would like to smell the beans before they're brewed, a question that is posed with so much genuine enthusiasm for what is about to happen that it negates any potential for pretension. After you acknowledge the aroma, the siphon fires, and then - magic. -Tien Nguyen
