I was privileged to try his double espresso. It is very, very fresh, with a huge crema, wonderful aroma and complex but smooth and fruity flavor. It’s a blend of Ethiopian yirgacheffe, Columbian and Brazilian beans, roasted to medium at exactly a peak of 450 degrees and then immediately cooled so they do not over cook. Wow! Five stars!How this can be only be $12.99 a pound? The quality and price blew me away.But then there is the shop. It’s a massive art gallery with multiple rooms and every inch covered with art, mostly Picasso prints! I kid you not! You have to explore this place, on one of the only three days a week Mario is open!He has no employees. He has no imitators. He has no helpers. He has his own passion for coffee and art. He has his desire for coffee perfection! He spends most of his week roasting small batches rather than opening the shop.Life is great with a unique passion for perfection! Thanks Mario!

This is a huge, unique, epic and rarely open monument to passion regarding coffee and passion regarding art. Mario roasts his own special blends of coffee every week, a few pounds at a time, to satisfy his loyal clientele and to make the best, freshest coffee he can from the highest quality beans. Amazingly, he also makes the most affordable high quality coffee in the area! He cranks out at least 100 pounds a week!I was privileged to try his double espresso.

The best coffee in Dunedin, with a very nice art store. This is a very nice place to visit, not just for the coffee, but for the art as well! They roast their beans. I am a coffee snob, and this coffee is a 10 out of 10! I buy my beans to grind at home as well.

Excellent decaf coffee! All coffee is roasted in-house by the owner, Mario.Iced coffee is superb — affordable, no up-charge for almond milk. (BTW, the “iced coffee” here is really an iced latte, they don’t have iced coffee without some type of milk - either dairy, almond, or soy. No up-charge for almond/soy milk).Mario uses coffee-ice-cubes, so a decaf iced coffee ends up being about half-caff, which is just what I like. I get one or two of these a week!

Mario is a sweetheart. He does all kinds of special coffees and is very proud of them. He told us all his varieties and had a great personality. He says he has been here 12 years. Come check this place out!

Art Smart coffee is fantastic! It's no secret the iced coffee is some of the best in the area. Excellent quad and americano priced just right. Roasted beans in house are fresh and delicious, do your self a favor and snag a bag. Almond milk options. Strip mall location and dare I say cool 90's coffee house vibes.

Great value on full pound bag of fresh roasted beans - very good coffee. Did not have time to check out the art but I will for sure be back!
