Vinh Le每天提供十种蜂蜜慕斯浓缩咖啡在蝉咖啡in Cambridge, a new Vietnamese café in the heart of Dunkin' country. And while Dunkin's now offering a "vanilla-forward" sweet cold foam to top its coffee beverages, inspired by an influencer and conceived by research and development technologists, Le's top layer of aerated yolks and local honey is so personal and precious to him, no other staff behind the counter are allowed a hand in his process, which involves pasteurizing the eggs and prepping the base a day in advance to pressing the nozzle over the snifter of espresso.

“我喜欢用咖啡和烹饪技术making drinks," Le says, drawing on his past as a cook at Ming Tsai's Boston restaurant, Blue Dragon, and more recent forays as chef of the roving pop-up Nem Kitchen Lab.

Le's creation is a sophisticated take on Hanoi-style egg coffee, a traditional northern Vietnamese drink dating back to the 1940s, when fresh milk was scarce. The classic egg coffee recipe leaves too much room for error for the amateur coffee enthusiast, which may explain why the drink didn't see the same pandemic publicity boost as drinks like South Korean Dalgona coffee (instant coffee and sugar whisked hot, and topped off with cold milk), which went viral on Instagram as coffee shops around the country shuttered. Le cites the temperature of eggs and proportion of espresso as the highly precise factors that can throw off the coffee's balance.

近年来,鸡蛋咖啡已经出现在两条海岸的更知名咖啡店的菜单上。但是,那些亚裔美国人的企业在19日期间受到了最大的打击。在曼哈顿下东侧的Choi Cafe Phin于去年7月关闭,并在2018年扩大到洛杉矶的纽约市咖啡店和烘焙店Round K Cafe在4月份丢失了租赁。

回合K的老板Ockheyon Byeon在他忙于在过去的一年中保持业务开业,从他的菜单中取出Dalgona和Egg Coffee,同时在纽约市的下东区开设了一系列弹出式咖啡馆,这使他的菜单剥夺了他的菜单。工作人员专注于他的烘焙和咨询业务。

他说:“我们决定将所有时间集中在制定业务计划,提供资源,最重要的是,当Covid击中最难的人时,为有需要的人创造了工作。”

BYEON计划在今年晚些时候在唐人街重新开放K并恢复他的完整菜单。同时,诸如葡萄色的ube拿铁咖啡和可可灰灰染色的哑光黑拿铁等美学人群取悦人士,可通过接待吧的外卖弹出式弹出窗口获得。在大街上的新设计高中甚至还有一个圆形的K弹出窗口。BYEON免费为这所高中提供了自己的商业级意式浓缩咖啡机和研磨机,并让学校经营商店,但他们认为合适。

他还向Bowery Mission提供圆形咖啡豆。他说:“我们只想竭尽所能帮助人们,确保一份工作并一次节省一项业务。”

当我在剑桥的奇卡达(Cicada)品尝Le's Egg咖啡时,它的怀旧之处比什么都重要。这并不是对幸运的人保留的怀旧之情,可以在河内ip饮它,那里的原始版本用黄油和奶酪进行了调整,已成为一个桶装列表。取而代之的是,我觉得对公共体验的怀旧之处既不是外卖电话订单的结果,也不是交易借口与我的笔记本电脑一起在我的笔记本电脑上占用房地产的一些借口。

Communal experiences are on the rise right now, but a coffee shop, with its social dynamics and aromatic charms, is one of the better uses of a Massachusetts law that limits customers to 90 minutes indoors. And Le is bracing for that return to normal.

尽管Le坚持Cicada Coffee永远不会拥有WiFi,但他提供了两个更好的理由来徘徊在您的饮料上。该咖啡馆的开放式厨房目前为您提供固定的鲑鱼Mi和米饭面条沙拉,一旦他的酒驾照,晚上很快就会在晚上作为Nem厨房实验室的新家。然后,他承诺用波旁威士忌漂浮物给他的鸡蛋咖啡一些踢。假设您很幸运能够抓住他的酒吧。
