I liked this cafe in Worcester a lot in terms of the overall experience. I don't think I'd necessarily drive out of the way for this coffee, but it's pretty typical fresh-roasted Nicaraguan coffee that I've been seeing pop up increasingly. The store is pleasant and a great place to sit down and do some work.
It has a huge nutty/earthy hit early in the palate then a clean citrus acidity. The sweetness is definitively caramel. There's a little bit of smoke that some will like but I'm not in love with here (but didn't ding them score wise for that). A big bright note of acidity mid or late palate here would be a huge difference maker for this one, IMHO.Cupping Method:Iced at the Cafe Brilla store in Holden, MA. Barista told me it was the Cafe Diego.
