Honor Espresso

With it's prime location opposite the Graceville train station and on a corner, this place caught my eye as soon as we moved to the area. I thought I Really have to go there! So on one of my first trips to the train station on morning on my way to work I swung by for a Double to go... The place looks well finished and there is a nice assortment of biscuits and muffins on the counter. The staff looked a little under the pump as there seems to be a strong cyclist cult there each morning. I ordered my Doppio and stood back to watch. The flow seemed a bit out that morning and I had to ask if my coffee was coming because my train was due. I got my shots and rushed to the train.

I made it.

My coffee was, less than a success. It had very little aroma and the taste was ordinary. Not bad as such. Just mot exceptional. I just wrote it of as a bad day for them and decided to try again later. It is my local cafe after all.

Today I missed my first train. No big deal as I had time. So round two for Honour Espresso. Still a small gang of cyclists gather out front but no where near as busy. And I opt for a have here coffee so I can sit on there funky city style benches in the sun.

The wait is not long and the crema looks good. The shot, for a double Espresso looks more like a doppio restretto. The aroma is non existent. How I do not know. And the flavour again is just ordinary. Not undrinkable but just not satisfying. Obviously they are doing some thing right because there is always customers there. Or maybe it is exactly half way on the cyclist route. Maybe I should try a milk based coffee and it will be better or maybe I should take my wife and see what she says.

Everything else gets a big tick.

Let's face it, I do Honour espresso, everyday.
