Enjoyable, but not mind-blowing, espresso based drinks. The space inside and out is attractive, comfortable and welcoming. Baristas are very competent and friendly. Be warned, however, that surcharges are applied to interac purchases under a dollar (keep some cash handy for solo trips to Bicerin).

Regulars of T.A.N. Coffee in Baldwin Village already know that the cafe has changed ownership this past summer and is now operating under Bicerin Coffee. I won't go into much detail with the menu because operation-wise, everything is still the same. You can read more from my T.A.N. Coffee (Baldwin) post. However, they did add two new drink items, Bicerin and Red Eye, onto the menu.
Bicerin is an Italian drink that I got to try for the first time. It's an espresso with dark chocolate, similar to a mocha. The dark chocolate made the drink sweeter and I definitely liked it. Not to mention, the latte bird art was adorable on my drink! If you are a mocha fan, you should give Bicerin a go if you ever stop by the cafe.
I asked one of the owners why they decided to change the interior. She told me that from customer feedback, T.A.N. Coffee did not have that homey cafe feeling to it. So they repainted the walls and made sure to add a comfy couch near the counter for a bigger group of people. I thought T.A.N. Coffee previously was cafe-like in its own sense. However, I do think that Bicerin does seem cozier compared to its predecessor. I also learnt that the other T.A.N. Coffee location at Ossington closed down.
