Man, I love this place. I had an iced vanilla latte and a lavender type tea cookie. I loved the art on the walls, which I recognized from Baron Batch. The place was packed with people near the fireplace and all the way through to the back. Everyone seemed consumed in their own little laptop world. I immediately felt at home and wished I could slouch into a chair, but they were all taken. Ah, next time.
I asked the nice man behind the counter what I should order to eat. He recommended a few things and I went with the cookie, which did have a lavender taste to it, but it wasn't too sweet. I liked that he rolled with my question and asked me follow up questions to determine what I would like to eat. At some places if I ask for a recommendation on what to get they sometimes get annoyed with me or have no answer for me despite knowing their own offerings. Not this place!
I ordered a vanilla latte and it tasted buttery to me. I know that sounds weird and by buttery I don't mean literally like butter. It was a rich taste with a smooth mix of vanilla. Not too sweet, not too watery. I really liked this latte and I have to come back for another one. Of course I'll have to try everything else.
