From Sparrow’s Coffee & Tea list, our espresso (regular or decaf) is two precisely pulled shots of Armistice Coffee’s espresso blend, our local roasting partner, for $4. It is a small, zero-proof pleasure with a lot of craft behind it, the after-dinner move when you want something rich without reaching for a nightcap.
About Espresso
Sparrow’s coffee is roasted in house by Armistice Coffee, and the espresso blend is dialed in for exactly this format, two precisely pulled shots with a proper crema. That same attention our lounge brings to a craft cocktail goes into the shot, which is why it tastes deliberate rather than rushed. Order it regular or as decaf espresso, so the late-evening table and the designated driver are both covered. It is the kind of careful, made-with-care cup that fits a warm neighborhood place on the Eastside.
Tasting Notes
The blend pulls lightly fruity and chocolatey, concentrated and smooth rather than harsh. It is rich and rounded, with just enough brightness to keep it lively. That balance is exactly why it is perfect with dessert, or as a clean, satisfying finish to a meal.
What to Pair It With
Espresso is built for the sweet end of the night. From the Sparrow menu, enjoy it after dinner or with weekend brunch (10 AM to 2 PM) treats like warm doughnut holes or Cinnamon French Toast, in the lounge or out on the patio.
