Best Cappuccino: The Foamy Deliciousness of it All

Coffee-lover Kim-Tien Huynh scoured the city for her favorite cups of cappuccino. Here are her top three. Have your own favorites? Let Kim-Tien know what you think below, or make up your own list.

Espressamente Illy Cafe

For purist coffee lovers who demand high quality roasted beans made and brewed near to perfection, Illy provides the ultimate coffee satisfaction. The art of making a cappuccino (YY30) is mastered by the staff and every sip brings out the perfect blend of strong coffee taste and a natural note of sweetness to counterbalance that roasted bite.

Q's Coffee

For a milder coffee flavor, try the dark roasted Yunnan coffee beans. The rich taste is well balanced by this cappuccino's (YY28) thick, milky foam. Yunnan coffee has a distinctive flavor, fragrant with a slightly fruity overtone. This cafe's adorable cabin-like facade and cozy, wooded interior add to the experience.

Maui Coffee

When sampling this Hawaiian coffee bean cappuccino variety (YY25), pay attention to its sun-drenched and fruity character. Every sip is a joy as the distinctive taste slowly spread outs to envelop your taste buds. The foam is lighter in taste than other cappuccinos, providing a smooth and creamy blend with only a subtle hint of bitterness.
