Gross?
One of those "ritual hipsters" won a SCAA Barista award (sfist.com) but check out this "signature drink":
a three-tiered liquid cherry-lime cheesecake concoction. The bottom layer of the drink included a strained and chilled cherry-lime reduction with a mixture of cream cheese, milk and a dusting of powdered sugar comprising the middle layer.I dunno, that drink sounds kind of nasty, but perhaps I should try it before casting stones. I went to Ritual recently (on Easter Sunday) with some out of town guests. It was okay, it's not great. I can pull great shots from my machine just as easily. And I don't require that my guests who visit for an espresso have to bring in a mac laptop and ride a fixie. Oooh, snarky! full press release (despite my snarkiness, the scaa is pretty important in my eyes)
The beverage's top portion featured a cheesecake mix blended with a rich Fazenda Sao Joao coffee.

I was there. Edgar and I had a great spot near the "4th machine". One of the other contestants had a specialty drink using habanero!

oh yeah
Now I remember you said you were going to go (or had gone) - I guess I thought you saw a different event- not the specialty drink one. I'll bug you on irc to get more details . . . I'd like to hear more about the habanero one
