Forget Me Not Espresso

pulling up a stool somewhere quiet in fairbanks on a weekday afternoon, when the cold outside has that particular alaskan insistence to it, is its own kind of productive. forget me not espresso sits on noble st, and if you're someone who measures a coffee stop by how well the espresso actually holds up, this is the kind of place that gets that part right. fairbanks doesn't have an enormous specialty coffee scene, so a shop with a real local following means something here. the crowd knows what they're drinking. that's not nothing. the espresso is the thing to order, and ordering it straight gives you the clearest read on what the shop does well. worth the stop on noble st, especially before the afternoon light drops out.
