| - The quirkier the better, and Songbird's got it goin' on.
With wrapping paper festively lining the bar seating looking out to the street, shelves and shelves of books, games, knickknacks and paintings along the walls, this is a coffee-loving, book reading, toe tapping, little-bit-hipster gold mine.
I love that the menu is made from Scrabble pieces (although they didn't have Scrabble to play, SO sad!) and their pastries are on display on the countertop, devilishly inviting you to break your healthy meal plan. They offer loose leaf tea and latte art (the way to my heart!) and do fun events like board game nights on Thursdays and a time slot for people to come in and Code. You can definitely tell who their target audience is and they do it well.
I got a spicy Chai and it was absolutely fantastic. The vanilla and spices blended so well and left a peppy after taste. It was nice to sip my drink and walk around the open space that connects to the coffee shop--it's an art gallery space and had some really great pieces!
You can get a lot of work done here sitting on the couch, listening to the great music playing overhead. This is the kind of coffee shop I miss from back home and I feel like I'll coming back again and again. Especially because I have been eying that Olive Oil Lemon Cake!
