almond version is upgrade-worthy, the filling and topping makes it dessert-tier

order it for-here in a real ceramic mug if you're staying — totally different experience

foam should be dialed in, dense not airy — that's the test of a real espresso bar

smooth and concentrated, not bitter — ask for a splash of cream if you want it richer

pairs well with a heavy red wine or a stout, ideal Friday night order
