    Sublime. Tiny. Handcrafted. Spella roasts their own beans and produces exquisite espresso drinks. Always stunning. I've had some of my best cappas *ever* here. No kidding.

    Wonderful, sincere service! Try the chai with soy...so great. Loved sitting at the tables outside, too.

    I always tell people who haven't been to Spella. Efore to get an espresso first, even if they don't like plain espresso. Most people order another, because theyre just so good.

    Cozy space on the street. Find a corner and settle in with a shot. Espresso is well pulled and not bad for this town.

    Get the Shakerato! It's refreshingly cool. But make sure to leave a tip because that's a lot of shaking of espresso, sugar, and ice!

    the staff makes their espresso with great love. Preparation takes longer than the others but it's worth the wait

    The shots here are delicious. You don't even need to add sugar! Treat yourself to a double shot Vanilla Hazelnut Latte └(。∀゚)┐

    Andrea's Italian style roasting makes for a perfect cappuccino. Tasha is the most delightful and skillful barista. Enjoy!

    Only about 6 people can fit inside at one time so I hope you're not claustrophobic.
