| - This is based on my experience in August last year, but looking back, still just as cool as when I first went!
I'm not a huge drinker, so I don't enjoy going out to the crappy dive bar type places. This little joint pretty much exceeded my expectations. Went here for my friend's going away bar crawl, and it was lovely! Had never been inside, and it's got such a European antique feel without looking too anachronistic or just too Victorian. Has a very dark-wood-library-esque ambience, and their coffee cocktails look...simply stunning.
I just had a mocha with...a shot of rum, I believe? I was quite picky, asking the bartender what kind of liquor would go with a mocha latte and he gave me that...or something. I remember pestering him for an exact amount, since I would be driving, but it was perfect. They have a separate coffee counter where you can order simply coffee or tea as well as the coffee cocktails, complete with roasters and grinders, tea dispensers and other required items.
I sipped from some of my friends' drinks and such, noting some pretty decent drink prices. We sat in one of the side lounges on some black leather couches, and watched a classic movie (some 60s flick, I believe).
Lovely experience, and I'm so excited to come back!
