"Having spent a lifetime immersed in the world of coffee and espresso, actively participating in the specialty coffee scene through activities such as micro-roasting, attending coffee cuppings, and sampling espressos from numerous valley cafes, I had never felt compelled to write a review. Until today.I abstain from writing coffee reviews, because of the subjectivity inherent in the tastes we value in coffee and espresso, in the drinks made with them. It was a friend's recommendation, who brought me to Froth, the fact they held roasting classes piqued my interest. The prospect of exceptional coffee, as heralded by their website, got me excited.I got in and reviewed the menu. I opted for a latte from the traditional menu, with oat milk, while my companion selected one of their iced beverages, our orders quickly arrived. We got our orders, and my drink came iced. I told the barista I had asked for a traditional latte and they said they would fix the drink up. To my immeasurable disappointment, they had heated up the iced drink with the steam wand!I was taken aback by this display of laziness and sloppiness by the barista who had made the drink.For an establishment who claims to value their coffee and the hands it goes through to make a good cup. This final hand the coffee traveled through was more than a disappointment. It was a slap in the face to the workers on the fields who tirelessly toil to cultivate the beans, and the people who dedicate their hours in the craft of roasting. In truth, this may have been an off experience, but if you are paying up to 8-10 dollars for a drink (including a fair tip) I believe you have to at least have a consistent standard of quality for your product.I have, on occasion, been willing to pay as much as 20 dollars for a solitary cup of coffee, without hesitation, if the result embodies the collective passion and unwavering commitment of those who adore coffee and champion its excellence.If you want a cool atheistic place to sit and get a caffeine hit, then come here. If you wish to experience coffee, you'd be better off going somewhere else."
