Iced Americano From Newest Authentic Italian Cafe in My City

Hello everyone and all members of Cinnamon Cup Coffee, how are you friends today? I hope and pray that we are all always given health, happiness and also patience to live this life. These few days, I haven't been actively writing or posting anything on Hive, because I'm busy preparing for Eid al-Adha. In Indonesia we (Muslims) are celebrating Eid al-Adha and I also want to wish all my friends a happy celebration.

Usually, every week I will go to the coffee shop to review the coffee shop, sometimes I will tell about the taste of the coffee or the condition of the coffee shop which is interesting to discuss. This time it was different, I got an interesting impression when I visited a café with the concept of Italian cuisine in my city. Let's discuss!!



Goloso Pasta Pizzeria

Goloso is an Authentic Italian Restaurant that already has three outlets in three different cities in Indonesia. After Bali and Jakarta, Goloso Pasta Pizzare opened an outlet in Medan City, precisely in the Middle of People and Place. The location of this restaurant or cafe is on West Irian Street, behind Uniland Plaza Builiding and is very strategic because it is close to the city center and Keramaain.

Goloso has an Italian café concept that has an interesting, unique and different interior design from other cafes in my city. In Medan City, Goloso maintains its outdoor concept with a modern rustic feel. The dine-in experience in Goloso is also very interesting, we will feel like in the middle of the forest with a kitchen bar resembling a cabin.

As an Italian Café, Goloso provides a variety of pasta, pizza, steak, mocktail, cocktail and Italian coffee style menus. This intrigued me, at first I wanted to relax with a cup of mocktail but I was told it would be a different coffee experience to the usual coffee shops. So, I tried ordering an iced Americano and what was my impression of the coffee?



Iced Americano

Americano is coffee made using an espresso machine. One cup Americano, usually made using hot water and one shot of espresso. Many people, like me, also like to add ice to Americano, so the Iced Americano menu is a favorite for people who like coffee with no sugar, low calories and a lighter taste than hot Americano.

I always order Americano for new coffee shops I visit, from Americano I can get interesting insights about the coffee used and whether the coffee shop or café is serious about coffee or the coffee menu is just complementary.

Crema Coffee

You can see the Iced Americano that I ordered, the crema is very pretty in white and gold. Crema coffee is an indicator of coffee used fresh roasted or old coffee. Crema is a brownish foam that forms on the top of freshly made espresso. Iced Americano from Goloso uses fresh coffee, judging from the crema it produces. I tried to taste this coffee. The taste is very strong and bold, from the taste it looks like Goloso is using coffee with Italian Dark Roast roasting level. This roasting level produces a thick body coffee and a strong (or very bitter) coffee taste. The dark roast level does reduce the original taste of the coffee but the coffee aroma becomes very strong and fragrant.

This Iced Americano is a little too bitter for me, usually local coffee shops in my city use Arabica coffee with a medium to dark roast level to make espresso so it tastes lighter, slightly sour, and also very fresh. Iced Americano from Goloso uses a mix of robusta and Arabica with dark level roasting, I had to add a little liquid sugar to enjoy this coffee.

Adding a little sugar to coffee certainly doesn't make us sin, does it? Comfort and taste are the most important when enjoying a cup of coffee. I enjoyed my time at Goloso Pasta Pizzeria, a cold cup of coffee accompanied by a green atmosphere in the middle of the city. Looks like I'll be coming back here again.

Hello @isdarmady

That would be quite an Italian * job of a coffee to finish... but it looks refreshingly good, so I would have it all with ease.

Great find of a coffee shop there (•‿•)
Have a fantastic day!

Hi, your publication is great, the architecture of the coffee shop is very nice, I must say that that American iced coffee looks delicious, I like you I would add sugar, as I like sweet coffees.

hello @eollarvesm
thank you for stopping by...

yup, the design of this cafe is what makes many visitors come to this cafe. Looks fresh, modern, and rustic. Some of my friends have uploaded photos at this place for the last two weeks, I was lucky to be able to come on weekdays so I could enjoy the atmosphere of the cafe which was not too crowded. If I come on the weekend, maybe I can only photograph the human back view..

I'm one of those people who drink coffee depending on the situation, I don't like it too sweet but sometimes my stomach can't accept it's too bitter.

That looks like a cool restaurant. I like the outdoorsy look to it. It looks like your in a jungle.

hello @leaky20 thank you for stopping by..

Yup, this cafe is really cool and viral in my city. If you look at social media, for the past two weeks there must have been a friend of mine who visited this place. It's even more special with the outdoor atmosphere with lush trees in the middle of my crowded city. This is like a way of healing for the citizens of my city.

Interesting how they’re able to get crema on iced coffee. They must serve it hot over the ice to get that I guess. Most shops probably use old coffee or filtered coffee and are just serving “iced coffee” not necessarily “iced Americano”.

I like the round building of that restaurant too 🙌🏾

thank you for stopping by @adetorrent
i also thought about it, looks like they do special tentik to get crema like that.
this coffee shop uses an espresso machine so you can be sure the ice coffee is ice americano.

I loved the design of the restaurant, and the cafe looks amazing too.

I'm still looking for where they sell iced coffee in my city, because so far I have not been able to try them, and of course a little sugar is bad, but if it is 2 times a week the body will not know haha, greetings bro.

thank you for stopping by @fabian98 So glad to see you come to this post.
You're right, I think almost all visitors come because they see how cool this cafe is on social media and of course don't forget to take pictures there.

I think the ice coffee menu is easy to find, or if it's difficult you can just make it. Haha, I thought I wouldn't get caught if I just added a little sugar.
