What I drank: a breve latte with whole milk — served in a to-go cup worth
keeping; the artwork on it is tremendous. The room takes a perfect score on the strength of
its setting: a sleek roastery folded into the leather shop next door, the kind of room that
makes you slow down before you get back on the road.

“I can still taste the strength of the espresso.”
What I drank: a cortado — equal parts espresso and steamed milk, which
means nowhere for a weak shot to hide. The espresso stood up through the milk and stayed
with me after the cup was done. One caveat, stated in the open: Laramie was a breve
latte, so this is roaster to roaster, not cup to cup — but a cortado is the harder drink
to fake, and if the espresso runs this strong, their breve latte is a safe bet to be
good. The room is quaint and simple, nothing extravagant: limited seating inside, a
table or two outside, and the mountains around Provo doing the decorating — tough to
beat. Exactly what you imagine walking into when you want a great cup of coffee. The
overall splits the difference between cup and room, with the outdoor setting counted
as a third leg: 4.675 on the nose, 4.68 on the card.

The cupPlain white, no artwork. Forgiven — the taste did the talking.
The street's number: 4.9 ★ on Google (174 reviews). Mine sides with it — on the cup, this is the best drink of the series so far.

The drink itself — what was ordered, how it was made, whether it earns a second one.
The Room
The place as a place: light, noise, craft, and whether the road feels far away for a minute.
The Overall
The honest average of the two, plus the only question that matters — would I go back?
