Another
concept
coffeeshop
that
attempts
to
combine
a
niche
segment,
this
time
DIY
motorcycle
repair,
with
coffee.
The
space
is
hardly
unique
but
somewhat
inviting.
The
large
floor
to
ceiling
windows
allow
for
a
lot
of
natural
light
to
enter.
You
will
find
several
seating
options
on
the
ground
level
as
well
as
additional
seating
on
the
mezzanine.
The
seating
was
in
some
measure,
comfortable,
depending,
the
assortment
of
chairs
was
a
bit
of
a
hodgepodge.
The
shop
boasts
a
foosball
table,
a
small
boutique
area
with
some
vinyl
records
and
hats,
as
well
as
a
table
with
a
swing
chair.
To
the
rear
of
the
shop
you
will
find
a
repair
area
adequately
equipped
with
the
necessities
one
will
need
to
work
on
their
moto.
Behind
the
counter
you
will
find
a
beautiful
Victoria
Arduino
Venus
and
beans
roasted
from
a
local
roaster
named
OBCR.
The
pastries,
are
nothing
to
note
since
over
80%
of
coffeeshops
in
Lyon
source
their
cheesecakes,
the
brownie
cookie
hybrid,
and
the
like
from
the
same
provider
with
the
only
difference
being
the
price
paid
and
presentation.
Normally,
when
I
find
a
Venus
behind
the
bar
I
encounter
a
highly
skilled
and
knowledgable
barista
and
the
definition
of
a
speciality
coffee
shop.
To
my
disappointment,
this
was
not
the
case.
The
interpretation
of
a
flat
white
was,
to
my
surprise,
the
equivalent
of
a
grand
creme,
a
coffee
and
milk
beverage
often
found
in
France.
There
was
no
micro-foam
of
any
kind
on
this
flat
white.
When
mentioned,
was
informed,
that
what
I
was
wanting
was
a
latte.
Which
is
not
the
case
since
the
ratio
of
milk
to
espresso
is
drastically
different
and
would
have
at
least
expected
a
comparison
to
a
cappuccino
if
anything.
I
would
highly
encourage
the
staff
to
consult
the
Specialty
Coffee
Association’s
specifications
concerning
milk
beverages,
particularly
a
flat
white.
Other
aspects
that
some
may
or
may
not
enjoy
include
the
odor.
Since
it
is
a
DIY
moto
workshop
as
well,
you
will
be
welcomed
to
various
odors
that
will
remind
you
of
the
ever
present
garage
in
the
rear.
I,
myself
am
not
among
the
target
demographic
for
this
type
of
shop
but
I’m
sure
there
is
a
niche
segment
that
will
enjoy
the
concept.
The
accessibility
issues
are
minimal,
with
a
small
step
one
will
have
to
overcome
to
gain
entry
to
the
shop,
and
the
door
to
the
toilet
appears
to
meet
accessibility
standards.
This
location
does
not
have
a
baby
changing
station.
An
espresso
or
tea
is
my
recommended
beverage
during
your
visit,
a
subsequent
visit
is
necessary
to
further
assess
the
milk
based
methods.
