caffe d'bolla

Ordered an expresso and I was charged $30….extremely overpriced. The owner should have been transparent with the expense as the menu was not prominently displayed.

Really great spot. You can tell the owner really cares about his product and his craft. He's personable and is happy to help you order and experiment. The coffee has been great. I also like the boba tea. His pearls are homemade and have great flavor. The ingredients used for the teas are real and quite a bit better quality than you'll find elsewhere (it seems many places use syrups now).

I had the Ethiopian FC espresso. Though Ethiopian is not my favorite region flavor it was a thoughtful blend with a high level of detail. Good conversation regarding roasting and environment effects on flavor profile.

This is not a regular coffee shop. This is more of an artists workshop where you can drink the best coffee of your life. Unique place with no compromise when it comes to coffee

I feel like I lost my coffee virginity here…I had no idea coffee could be special, an experience. John’s espresso has always been my benchmark anywhere I’ve traveled to the specialty coffee cafes of Europe and N America.

Recently I got my home espresso setup (niche zero grinder / Flair 58), and followed 50 hours of tutorials, tossing most of the shots down the drain. Today, I lugged all my gear into d’bolla. By our 3rd shot we had pulled the enviable ‘god shot.’ Very excited to have incredible espresso at home. Thanks john!!

Very rude experience by a self-assigned coffee elitist. Definitely not a Bourdain friendly kind of place. I'm a chemist and he couldn't explain even the basics of his "art" to us. We were told it would take an hour to brew, so we never had the chance to try this lovely gentleman's coffee. But definitely go here if you're in to $7 lattes that take an hour to make and want to discuss why he can't stock basic supplies because of the impending apocalypse.

The coffee is half the experience and to say it's excellent is an understatement. Beside the creamy, delicious rich flavor of the Americano I ordered, John was just that much more of a treat.

His spicy take on his craft is both enlightening and equally entertaining. You wanna know anything about espresso? John's your man. I'm very much looking forward to coming back.

This is one of the best and most unique coffee shops that I have visited. Be prepared for an experience and to learn something new about coffee.

Don't come if you want a pumpkin spice mocha with sugar free sweetener prepared in 30 seconds or less. This is a place for coffee lovers. The offerings are limited but prepared with care and excellence.

Dropped by for a quick espresso as I had many recommendations to try this place. Ho boy did it deliver!

The espresso was nothing like I've had before in my admittedly amateur experience. It blossomed in aromatics in a similar way to a good whiskey or sake; it was almost not coffee or espresso anymore. The flavors were also unique to today's blend; the owner explained that he switches up the flavors maybe 10 times a year. I'll definitely be back to experience more!

Not only that, but the owner was extremely friendly, and talked with me for a good while about his methods and philosophy on what makes good coffee. I could really hear his passion and it made me excited to explore more coffee myself. Honestly, with how much care he puts into his product, if he had a french accent he would sound like a world-class chef.

People passionate about their work and trying to reach the highest quality they can, is what makes the best better have that edge over everyone else; and places like this need to be valued and supported. I absolutely cannot recommend this place enough

You can come here for a very well made coffee and for knowledgeable conversation! I got to talking to the owner about coffee and how to properly make it at home and he knew his stuff ! Excited to go home and try out his recommendations to hopefully make half as good as a coffee as he does !

Also offers alternative milks !
