We think Big Short Coffee offers a unique, cocktail-inspired approach to coffee, moving beyond traditional lattes into more experimental, concept-driven beverages.
Reviewers consistently highlight the thoughtful craftsmanship and presentation, with drinks like the Crema al Hojicha and Mont Blanc receiving specific praise.
The seasonal 'Chapter Six' menu, featuring items like Pisang Kikkoman and Up And Away, showcases their playful and innovative spirit.
While the pricing is noted as surprisingly modest for the level of artistry involved, some reviewers point out that it is on the pricier side for a coffee, reflecting the experiential nature rather than just the drink itself.
The operations are described as streamlined, even with long queues, and staff are commended for being friendly and informative.
However, the biggest drawback appears to be the extremely limited seating, making it less ideal for lingering.
We'd recommend going in with an open mind, ready for an unconventional coffee experience rather than a standard cafe visit.
Best for those who appreciate innovation and a touch of mixology in their brew, and are prepared for a potential wait or a takeaway experience.
