    Don’t call it a coffee shop. This ultra-elevated coffee bar and café makes everything from scratch, including its own milk (almond, cashew, pepita, and oat). Order cocktail-style espresso drinks like the hickory-smoked s’mores latte or the deconstructed espresso tonic in a lush space designed by Ken Fulk (Legacy Records). Treats are provided by LES wunderkind Supermoon Bakehouse.

    Check it out, right around the corner from Blender Workspace.

    Here’s a breakdown of one reporter’s experience with a live demonstration of their most expensive late. During this adorably overwrought prep, a lot of things happen. First, he offers you a shot of the addictive graham-cracker–infused steamed milk—which would make a fantastic stand-alone slurp—before mixing it with espresso in a chocolate-rimmed coupe. Then, he covers the drink with a glass cloche, infusing it with hickory smoke, thereby cocooning it—and you—in a woodsy aroma. Finally, he adds the finishing touch: a caramelized marshmallow that he torches until it’s golden brown. Midway through drinking your velvety, campfire-kissed treat, he’ll drop off warm hand towels to aid in the gooey, chocolately mess dripping down the stem.

    But in case the S’mores Latte is sold out (sometimes by 10am—the shop opens at 7am during the week, 8am on weekends), another new-age java is the Deconstructed Espresso Tonic, which comes in a Bordeaux wineglass filled with tonic water, non-alcoholic Campari reduction and lemon-basil leaves. The server mentions that you should first swirl and sip from the glass before you pour in the accompanying shot of espresso. What you get is a concoction that retains the bitterness of the espresso balanced by the citrus of Campari for a complex drink that evokes a cocktail more than a coffee.
