| - Sad, sad day. I wanted to love you so much Sambalatte, but you just let me down. Dan T. told me I was being pretentious, but this place did not do me well. All your wonderful reviews mislead me. I love coffee shops. My favorite of all time being Stumptown. (look it up and order some. it will change your life. That is a real cup of coffee.) I think from all the reviews, and even the pictures of the drinks, that is what i was longing for. We got there this afternoon around 2pm. Semi busy but not so much. I ordered a latte and waited at the end for my name to be called. A few minutes later it was in front of me. I tried to wait for Dan T. to get his but had to take a sip. It wasn't hot, just warm, lots of foam, and very watery. (i know there is no water in a latte, but it was runny like water.) I tried not to complain, but Dan could tell I was bummed. He ordered the nutcracker and that was alright (better than mine) but I will let him tell you about that. The prices are the same as starbucks/coffee bean. The vibe is eh. I did like that you could cozy up on a chair or bench and play the boardgames they supply (who sunk my battleship?!) or even read some of the books they have on the shelves. I didn't try any of the little bites they had, but they did look appetizing. As for the coffee...eh I don't think I'll be back for that. Maybe I'll try some of the tea on the menu next time if I ever make it back.
