Exploring Alma Keto: Surprising Pastries and Room for Improvement in Coffee
Alma Keto, a specialty coffee shop nestled in the heart of Palermo Hollywood, boasts an impressive lineup of 100% keto pastries. As a seasoned keto dieter, I was eager to sample their offerings, but I must admit that I was a tad underwhelmed by the coffee. The acidity was quite pronounced, and it didn't quite hit the mark for my discerning coffee palate. When visiting a new coffee shop, I usually order an espresso to gauge the quality and then proceed to explore the menu further. Unfortunately, this didn't happen at Alma Keto.
However, the pastries at Alma Keto are truly remarkable. Not only were they delicious, but they were also well-balanced and surprisingly similar to non-keto pastries. While the nutritional information of each dish may not be readily available, this may not be an issue for all keto dieters. As someone who typically measures their macros to design their food proportions, it's essential to keep in mind that nutritional facts may not be readily available at most keto food places.
The ambiance of the shop is bright and airy, with spacious tables that are ideal for work or relaxation. Though it was a bit noisy during my visit, it is understandable given the shop's recent opening. Some pastry options were not yet listed on the menu, but all were on display, making it easy to make a selection. The quick and attentive service far exceeded my expectations, and the shop's overall decor was modern and well-crafted, with a central counter where the staff conducted their operations.
In summary, while the coffee at Alma Keto didn't quite hit the mark for me, the pastries, ambiance, and service make this a coffee shop worth exploring. For those seeking to closely monitor their macros, it's worth noting that nutritional information may not be readily available. Alma Keto's delicious pastries are sure to impress and offer a guilt-free indulgence for those on a keto diet, making it a worthwhile visit for anyone looking to satisfy their sweet tooth without leaving ketosis.
