| - So I went here after reading Nate M's review, and he was spot on!
I got the Old Fashioned to drink, and soppressata to eat and they were both excellent!! Soppressata was two medium eggs, toast, and cream sauce (tasted like a bechamel sauce) with some kind of meat (tasted like bacon but soppressata means salami so maybe it was that). So delicious! Came with a generous portions of sliced fingerling potatoes, and mesclun salad. If it wasn't barbaric, I would've licked my plate clean of the bechamel like cream sauce... Instead I tried to salvage all the sauce by dipping my potatoes in it. Old fashioned was cold espresso with orange. I love that it was served over an ice ball in a whiskey glass. I wish I could request all my iced coffee to be served over an ice ball, it's so pretty!
When I walked in, a couple of employees greeted me and walked me through how publicus works. Lots of awesome coffee options (it was described to me as cocktail coffees, which is perfect), pastries, and food options (they still had their breakfast items available when I visited at 2:30PM, yay!)
The vibe& atmosphere in publicus is great! Very clean and modern. Lots of natural lightning (wrap around windows) which make reading/working there a breeze, and lots of seating options (most on the main floor area, some picnic like tables near the Windows, some more hidden near the back walls/bathrooms, etc). People there were a mixture of those eating/socializing , & studying/working, etc.
Staff was super friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back soon!
I love hipster places with non-hipster service!
