| - We woke up one morning, not feeling like making coffee at home and definitely not willing to deal yet again, with the rat race assembly line cat herding corporate big box craziness and weak coffee that is Einstein's. Since their cappuccino making skills are sub-par, we decided to try this little place instead.
We liked the fact that it wasn't busy, with plenty of available outdoor seating but then again, sometimes that's not such a good thing. I order a cappuccino for here and I'm asked "hot or cold?".
Huh?
I asked for a cappuccino, not a cold cappuccino, not an iced cappuccino, not a frappuccino so why is that even a question?
Also, when you operate a proper coffee shop and somebody orders a coffee "for here", then you should serve their beverage in a porcelain cup, especially since you're serving up illy caffè italiano. Didn't your sales rep offer you the porcelain cups? I've got an entire set of cappuccino and espresso cups at home, that I kept when I sold my cafe. If you didn't get a set then ask for it. It makes a difference, whether you're drinking a cappuccino, espresso or just a plain cup of Giuseppe. Trust me.
Guess what I was served instead? A Starbucks knockoff of a cappuccino, in a paper cup, with the de rigeur ridiculously excessive amount of foam.
This is NOT a cappuccino. At least it's not an Italian cappuccino, which is where the beverage originates. I know. I've been drinking them ever since I tried my first one in Italy as a piccolo bambino cattivo. Ma vaffanculo, va! Questa cosa schifosa non e un cappuccino!
A real cappuccino is served very warm, with a nice dollop of foam, in a porcelain cup and NOT scalding hot with three inches of silly foam on top in a paper cup.
So in essence, this place is nothing more than a mom n pop version of Starbucks for people who don't really know an authentic cappuccino from a turnip truck y'all. You know, like them folks that like think that like fancy joints offer up iced caps so like this place is like really fancy like like y'know like? If that's your thing then good fer yoo. Enjoy yer cawfee.
I wanted to like this place....I really did but I don't. Might I suggest learning how to make a proper cappuccino, in the event you decide to separate yourselves from the ordinary crowd. Then again, maybe not. There's plenty of business for ya in these here parts.
In the meantime, I'll just keep making my caffè a casa mia, when visiting the valley of the sun.
