Profile

It’s as hard to find a consistently great espresso in New York as it is to find a root-beer float in Rome. Deftly pulled and properly short, rich, dense, and not too bitter, and with a decent crema, Gorilla’s comes closest.

Note

All of Gorilla's coffees are organic and Fair Trade Certified.
