The latte itself, even with the vanilla flavoring, was similar to what we got at Delilah’s where the coffee remained the star of the show. The natural bitterness of the espresso was not completely overwhelmed by the vanilla syrup. I like my coffee with a little more sweetness personally, but I considered this meal a great introduction to the batch of beans I was taking home. It kept me warm on a chilly morning walk by the river with my dad, and that was really all that mattered. Mornings are no longer as chilly as they were when I visited their trailer at the Farmers Market, but have no fear, they have iced coffee beverages as well for the summer to keep you cool and caffeinated during your shopping. The Radiant Blend comes in the bag as whole beans, so if you want to make their coffee at home, you will need a grinder of some kind. The basic grinder I use does not come with settings to help you get a specific type of grind, so when it came time to make this coffee at home, I loaded ten grams of beans in my grinder and prayed. For my drip method brewing, I think that I did not take the grind far enough. However, I will say that the Radiant Blend lives up to its promise.
Low acidity and perfectly balanced, this cup of coffee after the Farmers Market the following week was comforting with my egg in a basket. I did not need to increase the amount of sugar or creamer I usually add to my coffee to get to my usual preference. I think I even used LESS creamer. Heritage Coffee comes in strong with a ⅘. I'd love to see more flavors and varieties in their beans one day, but the current owners have only taken over full time in the last year or so. There is plenty of room for growth. I look forward to seeing where this coffee truck goes. You can order their beans online if you want to try them for yourself at their website, or you can find them in the food vendor section of the Green Bay Saturday Morning Farmers Market along the river.

The Two Birds latte certainly came in on the sweeter side compared to say, Delilah’s from our review earlier this summer. The flavor of the coffee was well accented by the cinnamon bun syrup that the cafe uses, and I finished the entire cup before it started to go cold on me. That rarely happens these days, especially when I’m getting my coffee in one of the paper to-go cups. This brings them in as my favorite latte in town so far, I believe, with a score of 4.75/5.
It goes without saying that I recommend them for your breakfast needs as well. This time around, I ordered their quiche instead of a breakfast burrito like I usually do. The egg custard was so soft, and the mixture of vegetables chosen for their veggie quiche presented a difference in texture and taste against that soft custard that helped brighten the meal. It’s hard to balance all of that with a well cooked pie crust, and Two Birds managed just that. If you're interested in my previous coverage of their food, you can check that out under our restaurant reviews section, or at this link! |
