Espresso Lab - Hamra

Love the place, love their drinks, and the ambiance is perfect for studying/working. The lost star is for their prices compared to nearby local coffeeshops. I paid 10$ for my vanilla matcha. I recommend it and would go there again!

It is a great place, looks clean and neat. However, the staff aren’t welcoming at all, frowning most of the time and the chubby bearded guy should find a bodyguard job instead of barista. The place has the best coffee equipment: La Marzocco Linea 2 or more Ditting grinders Puq press And this is all what you need to make the best espresso in the world, besides the great beans of course. I ordered a single origin Peru espresso. It came to me without any crema at all, room temperature and yellowish, and that was for 3$. What a shame and bad reputation for Espresso Lab. This place could do with a great training manager for the staff skills in hospitality and coffee making too! Sad sad…
