Bay area espresso

Since the house needs a little electrical upgrade before we can use our machine I have been sampling a number of local shops to find good espresso. Today was a notable success as I sampled a spectacular shot at Caffe del Doge in Palo Alto.

Prepared in the classic Italian style, the results were pure Rome; a light tan crema over smokey chocolate syrup that smells of fresh straw and licorice. Not my favorite style but very well done and a real treat after weeks of mediocre attempts by my regular barrista.
