| - So, I'm a big coffee drinker! I can't stop it, LOL
I lived in Seattle drinking coffee @local coffee shop all the time when I was still in college, so go figure :) :)
This place used to be a Saxbys Coffee before, but when I went in, the whole place seemed to be changed. I tried their drinks while I was showing my cousin and my sister around the Montelago Village on one cold day of November ( Actually, Paolo D & Anthony M were shooting the landscape shots on the same day. Sorry, I couldn't join with you guys for a "UYE #3 Photo Walk")
I noticed that they have a Seasonal Drinks on the menu. Of course all the Coffee shops are offering the winter beverages right now and I had to try out Coffee Cantata's Choice.
**The Seasonal Hot Beverages: Red Velvet, Pumpkin Spice, Peppermint & Gingerbread Latte
I had a Gingerbread latte and others had their Red Velvet Latte. It was pretty good and sweet! They have a very cozy atmosphere to sit and chat with a friend or two. I do have to say the drinks here are a bit pricey, probably because of its location, but the taste and atmosphere of the place makes up for it.
I wish the Coffee Cantata stays for a long time :) The hours are M-F from 7am to 8pm!
To me, local coffee shops usually offer a better blend of beans for their java and I love to try other coffee drinks here on my next visit.
Does anyone know about the slogan,"KEEP AUSTIN WEIRD"? When I was visiting the City of Austin, Texas.., Many local places were selling T-shirts, mugs, hats, & bumper stickers with this slogan on it. I've learned that the Keep Austin Weird slogan was born from an offhand comment made during a radio broadcast and was adopted by the Austin Independent Business Alliance to promote local small business. We have more of big chain companies in this town but I hope we have more local businesses in the neighborhood someday. I'm so sad to see all these small businesses hurting with the economy right at this moment. Just another reason why I'm strongly support my independent local coffee shops.
