Walking into a Marylou's for the first time can evoke an unexpected sense of surprise, a feeling akin to entering a vibrant ice cream parlor. With its lively pink aesthetics and an array of unique flavored coffees and concoctions, Marylou's brings a distinct flavor to the coffee house scene. A seeming favorite amongst young women between the ages of 15 and 30 (the store was packed with them!!), Marylou's offers an environment where one can indulge in a delightful treat.
Regular roast is special blend carefully curated by Marylou herself. This brew consists of beans sourced from Colombia, Brazil, and Central America. Driven by her passion for coffee, Marylou's blend was designed to impress even the most demanding coffee enthusiasts and it sounds like it has remained the same since Marylou's was founded in 1986.
In this colorful setting, I chose to try their straightforward regular coffee though I have to admit I was tempted by the conconctions. The Regular Roast was smooth and easy on the palate, accompanied by a subtle nuttiness and caramel. The brew also had a hint of acidity, balancing the overall taste, but still falling short of great.
I would not say it lived up to the grandeur of Marylou's claim of being the 'Best Coffee in Town' but perhaps this claim was more valid before the specialty coffee era. I think it's as good as most Starbucks/Dunkin'/Peet's house roasts which I usually rate around 3.5-4 stars.
Despite being curated with care, the blend offers a good but not exceptional coffee experience at a good value.Cupping Method:Takeaway purchased from the Quincy, MA Marylou's.
