Crema's Take
“Absolute Coffee's iced lattes are so rich and well-balanced that they're worth comparing side-by-side with other Village spots—one regular did exactly that and came back here. The baristas clearly obsess over espresso quality, pulling shots strong enough that even black coffee drinkers find themselves reaching for sugar, and the pastries (especially blueberry muffins) are genuinely excellent. It's a tiny, no-frills six-seater with hard chairs and prices slightly above average, but if you prioritize coffee craftsmanship over comfort, this is a worthwhile detour.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, good cold brew. Slow-sit spot. Pastries on the menu. Parking available.

You can tell the barista cares about coffee quality. I don't usually add sugar to a flat white, but I did here, because the espresso is strong. Six tables, but chairs are all hard. Prices slightly above average for the area, worth it for the quality and uncrowdedness.…
Stopped in here Sunday morning and ordered a blueberry muffin and a black coffee. The muffin was very good and had a lot of blueberries which I like. The barista made the coffee fresh in front of me which I appreciated. As far as seating goes it's very limited. The prime spot…
