Each luxurious shot has whispers of orange and chocolate-laden bass notes, with a full mouthfeel and voluptuous crema. ## Hayes Valley Espresso Inspired by chocolate-dipped orange peel, this espresso was crafted to be thick, sweet, and caramelly, with a subtle brightness that balances indulgence and harmony in every shot. - #### Roast Story Organic coffees from the Americas are roasted low and slow to the very edge of darkness, coaxing out deep, resonant flavors and rich sweetness while preserving a beautifully full body. - #### Italian-Style Ristretto In our cafes, every espresso is a ristretto — short, concentrated, and perfectly balanced to reveal the depth, richness, and nuanced sweetness of our beans. - #### Try in a Cafe Hayes Valley Espresso is the base of all our cafe drinks; bold and viscous on its own, or softer and sweeter in a cappuccino or seasonal latte.
