Coffee with A Molecular Twist at Lavazza
After braving the long, chaotic lines at all those Black Friday mega sales, you’ll surely be in need of a pick-me-up.
Why not make it one with a little molecular gastronomy thrown in to boot?
At the newest coffee cafe in San Jose’s Santana Row, Lavazza Espression, you can indulge in exactly that.
The artsy Vespa-red Italian cafe is the first of its kind on the West Coast by the famed Italian coffee roaster. More locales are expected in the near future around the Bay Area.
Last week, I had a chance to sample the goods as a guest at the grand opening party. Scoops of vanilla gelato, samples of focaccia sandwiches, and arugula salads stuffed into crisp, lacy Parmesan cups made the rounds.
The tiramisu and chocolate tortes tasted fresh and classic. They’re flown in daily from Italy.
