| - The most wonderful thing in the world, 2 years ago, was when a friend behind the counter recommended the Slap & Tickle to me and my husband after a night of drinking at Beauty Bar & The Griffin. Organic peanut butter, bacon & jalapenos. The perfect combo & super cheap. I've had it recently multiple times and now it's just 3 jalapenos & a piece of greasy, under-cooked bacon (that makes the entire place smell like grease), with a smack of peanut butter. Nope.
At this point, the attitude from the wanna-be hipster baristas is not worth the over retail price of their craft beers, the fact they apparently use Mothership coffee, or the (only good thing on the food menu) deviled eggs (which are great). The coffee is prepared adequate at best, sometimes terrible.
When you add the decline in quality of the coffeehouse with the fact that Emergency Arts is now basically nothing but offices, when it was once awesome galleries & shops, it just appears whoever is running it doesn't care anymore. Which is really too bad. The entire building had huge potential.
I've lived here my entire life. I've run around DTLV since i was 13 (early 90's), I know it hurts to not kiss the ass of every business trying to make the area better, but at the same time, why let sub-par businesses taint & take up valuable space in an area thriving & getting National attention?
Hopefully they get their shit together again. This could be a great spot. Not to mention a butt load more coffeehouses are slated for Fremont East and the Arts District in the coming year... just sayin'.
