It's a blessing and a curse that I live around the corner from Noble. It is nice and cheap to make your own coffee and toast at home while you watch the daily show, but when your local Barista pours the best coffee on this side of the Atlantic, you almost want to always wake up an hour late for work.
First time I went in, I asked for an Americano, short on the water (because I'm too embarassed to have to explain what an Allonge is to every Barista), but then he corrected me with what I actually wanted and it was perfect. Every time, it's full and balanced tasting, never watered down or acridly sour tasting like so many shops around town.
Bless this place with their unpretentious vibe and serious skills behind the counter. Long may I have late nights and late mornings only to be saved by Noble.
