mayor is a washed costa rican coffee from escape, lab à café, grown with caturra and typica varieties. the washed process keeps things clean and defined, letting the caturra and typica character come through clearly. expect tropical fruit brightness up front, followed by milk chocolate sweetness and a darker chocolate finish that adds some weight to the cup. that balance of fruit and chocolate makes it approachable without being flat. it works well as a filter brew where clarity and structure can develop fully, though it holds up in espresso too if you want more body from the chocolate notes.

about escape - lab à café
escape lives up to its name on rue notre dame ouest, where the steady hum of conversation mingles with the satisfying click of ceramic against wood. this isn't the kind of place where baristas recite origin stories like trained parrots. instead, you get the quiet confidence that comes from people who actually understand coffee extraction ratios and aren't afraid to adjust them mid-shift. the 4.8 rating from nearly 200 reviews tells you what locals already know: consistency matters more than instagram angles. watch how regulars order without looking at the menu, how they trust whatever single origin is featured that week. the milk steaming technique here produces foam that doesn't collapse before you've taken three sips. small details. but they're the ones that separate decent coffee from the kind that makes you cross downtown montreal just to get your fix.
