Tucked-in between two other coffee shops in the heart of the financial district, Cafe Differance stands out like a little giant - mostly because of its amazing staff and impeccable brew. I've had the pleasure of stopping by many early Saturday mornings and tried the punchy Espresso, the smooth Macchiato and my favorite, a creamy and frothy Latte! Annie the friendly Barista explains to me that the secret of the thick and rich foam is to carefuly warm up cold milk to its desired temperature, layer by layer, and not to rush it. As for the perfect espresso shot, you have to get the timing right. Too fast and coffee will be too light. Too long and coffee will taste burnt. Last, acidity has to do with the type of beans... luckily you won't run out of choices as you will find different types of roasts from Phil & Sebastian, Bows & Arrows and 49th Parallel. To accompany your beverage, you have to try one of the fabulous pastries that are baked on premise... ham and cheese scones, blueberry and white chocolate scones, giant chocolate cookies, mini-cup sized brownies and so many other treats. When you have time, stop by for a quick fix with the superior quality you'd expected from an independent coffee shop. Also say hi to young and energetic owner Daniel and the four baristas who are sometimes all there during busy weekday mornings!
