Stained glass, a high ceiling and broad church-style pews set the tone, and classical music fills the room through a powerful sound system while guests talk in low voices. Espresso is the focus, pulled from single-origin beans such as Ethiopian, and each cup arrives with a card describing the coffee. The Basque cheesecake has a soft, freshly baked texture rather than the firm, uniform slices many cafes buy in. Iced drinks hold a few very large ice cubes, so the actual drink is small.
