Coffee-Inspired Cocktails At “Lear Faye Espresso Kitchen” On The Drive

Portrait

by Shaun Layton | Lear Faye Espresso Kitchen is an awesome little cafe that opened on The Drive around the start of this past summer. Owner Dolly Reno wanted the cocktails to compliment the vibe of the space in the evenings. I recently had the pleasure of tasting every one them (that part of the job sucks) and let me tell you, it’s a killer list. Execution-wise, as they’re pretty simple drinks, the baristas can now fire off a small and focused list. The winner for me is their take on the Old Fashioned (Akvavit, coffee syrup, and lemon bitters served on a cold-brew coffee ice cube). Added bonus: they have a wicked selection of old school hip hop on vinyl, which for me makes it the best coffee shop soundtrack in town.
