Large Santa Rosa outlet of this Healdsburg-based chain café and roastery is located across from the Santa Rosa train station. Bright and airy space feels like a former Victorian home. Separate rooms with café tables and chairs, outdoor sidewalk seating by the railroad tracks, and a long metal espresso bar for service. They use a two-group La Marzocco GB/5 (formerly a three-group Linea) to pull espresso shots with a speckled, medium brown crema of good thickness. The cup has good merits all around, although the body is a touch thin. Flavorwise, it's herbal with some spice notes. Served high in Espresso Supply cup (F.A.C.). Their milk frothing is also quite good: thick.
