We were downtown Mesa for their annual Fourth of July Celebration. I found this place on Yelp with good reviews. When I walked in, it had somewhat a strange smell. I don't know what to make of it. Like an old second hand store mixed with coffee. I was surprised the there were only a couple in there when the rest of the shops and streets were bustling with people.
My little cutie pie ordered a strawberry Italian soda. The barista, quick thinking, used strawberry puree instead of the usual flavored syrup he didn't have. I love that he made my son happy as a clam. My hubby couldn't quite make up his mind and was talked into an espresso macchiato. I warned him that he never liked espresso. But, he listened to the barista's raving about how it was the drink that sealed the deal for him to like coffee. Hubby did not want to hurt the guy's feelings, so he tried it. I knew he didn't like it when he made the "bitter beer face" after each sip. I had the Americano with cream. Soy and almond milk are each .50 cents extra. I love that they use local coffee roaster company. We didn't try any of the baked goods. It just didn't look interesting enough.
Would we come back here again? Maybe. There are a lot of other coffee places to try on Main Street before I make that decision!
