Best macchiato I’ve had was during a trip to San Diego, at a place called Caffe Calabria, 30th and University. It wasn’t just pretty (though it was certainly that), it also was the most sublime harmony of milk (probably whole) and rich, velvety espresso I’ve ever tasted. So I endeavored to find out where I could have that experience in the Twin Cities.

Turns out it’s not so easy to find. Lots of independent coffee houses here, but many of them turn out a pretty lazy product. The Catfish didn’t quite match my San Diego experience — the espresso wasn’t quite as full — but it is definitely operating on a higher plane.

Do visit. Bike there if you can.

[...] I’ve seen my share of hearts (STA even posted a picture of one for his review of this place), I’ve never seen a flower before. And it tasted as good as it looked. I heart [...]

I like dry cappuccinos. I like Angry Catfish, I like Josh, I like bikes (love those Colnagos!), and I like skim milk. Everyone has their own preferences.

I don’t know… to me, skim milk loses a critical essence. You need the fat in the milk to get the right creaminess to the foam. Do you drink lattes? If that’s too much milk, you might want to try cappuccino instead.

If only they’d use skim milk. I know it’s not good for barista art, but whole milk overwhelms the espresso.

Angry Catfish Bicycles and Coffee is my kind of place. I bike. I drink coffee.

I wish Baker’s Wife would take over the Mel-O-Glaze space.
