I found myself hanging around the area in serious need of a good cup of coffee. I found Sola while walking around and loved that it wasn't overly-trendy or packed. Their lattes rock and they have a banana nut latte (always light on the syrup for me!) that warms my soul.
It's currently run by a church (wha?) but the news has leaked that his little gem is soon to be a Cartel establishment. Woo!!! They already use Cartel coffee, so it just seems like a natural progression.
There are so many cool things about Sola.
1. They are using the old Food Bar coffee cups. A little feeling of nostalgia and the greenie in me just loves it.
2. The environment is comfortable. Long community tables...long couches....books...simple = comfy. It hasn't been overly crowded when I've been there so the space worked for me.
3. They make a darn good Latte.
I've made my way back a few times since I discovered it and can't wait to hang out and make it my mobile office for the day!
