The New Cafe on the Block

[osprey_archer]

I have found a new cafe. It has a mezzanine that overlooks the cafe counter, and a Make Your Own Trail Mix station (with wasabi peas!), and one barista with dreads and another with holes in his earlobes the size of half-dollars.

Also, my sandwich was tasty. It was a small for the price, but it had good tomatoes that were all the way red instead of red-rimmed with tasteless stringy white inside. So there is a balancing act there.

I haven't tried the hot chocolate yet, which is the real litmus test of any cafe. But the menu says they make it with steamed milk, and that is promising.

So I will sally forth again tomorrow, and return with photographs.

A+

Sometimes when I go to Subway & I see the tomatoes they have all sliced up there, I just opt not to get them on my sandwich.

I KNOW. Subway has mutant tomatoes of doom, which are flavorless and pulpy and icky.

I have for years not been fond of tomatoes, and I think those tomatoes are why.

This is important research.

Also, is it wrong that I am excited to see photos of hot chocolate?

NO.

Well, possibly. But if it's wrong I don't want to be right.

I love new cafes! And a Make Your Own Trail Mix bar? awesome!

And it's the weirdest Make Your Own Trail Mix bar ever (not that I've seen that many): sure, it has the standbys like peanuts and M&Ms and granola, but it also had wasabi peas and banana chips and dried mango.

I was very impressed.
