This relatively small bookstore has an attached tea room. They also serve coffee. I had a double espresso. The espresso was bitter but not that bad. Other than bitterness there was nothing particularly special about the cup other than the nice crema. Their default espresso size appears to be double. While not the best tasting espresso, the coffee did have a nice kick.
As you can see from the photos the presentation of the espresso is plain. A generic cup and saucer are accompanied by a modest but elegant spoon and a picnic napkin.
Notes about the cafe itself. The cafe is strangely quiet as there is not the usual sounds associated with coffee production such as grinding and steaming for the most part. I assume this is because they grind ahead of time in batches and serve mostly tea so they don't need to steam things very often. The clientele are young creative professionals and fashionable students.
