I have been searching for independent Espresso bar or Coffeehouse in the Markham area and with no success.... All Markham has are Starbucks and Second Cup.. oh and God forbidden those Tim Hortons popping up everywhere!
Red Bulb Espresso Bar though not in Markham but only 10 minutes or so drive North... and it is a lovely addition to the Stouffville neighbourhood.
The interior of Red Bulb is nicely decorated... bright and airy with a lot of little decorations on the wall (needlepoint crafts, wondering if the owners got them from garage sales!)
The Seasonal Gingerbread Latte is delicious! :) Just like drinking my dessert which my friend probably thinks it is just so not right for a real espresso bar experience.
OK! I am green with envy!! I want one of this espresso bar in Markham!! I want to be able to get a good latte at 5:30 AM (damn this people are hardworking)! I want to able to chill out and surf the Internet with a good cup of Joe!
For now on, I guess the only option is to hop in my car with my laptop and drive myself up to Red Bulb!
