| - An immediate priority when moving to a new neighbourhood is to seek out and find a new "office," aka coffee shop in which to write. A quick stroll landed me at Rustic Cosmo Cafe. I popped in to see what it was like and ordered a Cortado, my latest (apparently pretentious) espresso preference. They didn't know what it was but attempted to make me a beverage that resembled a long macchiato. It was alright and the vibe was fun, so I decided to return the next day to take post and write.
It was busy that morning, but I found a table and they promptly brought me a menu. I ordered a skim cappuccino, but they consistently only have 2% or soy so I was forced to get that instead. It was alright, but I'm truthfully not that into their espresso. Though I continue to order it regardless.
Then I ordered THE BEST BAGEL IN THE WORLD! Although many of their sandwiches have people names, I was not too thrown off biting into my delicious Sarah. Sarah consisted of the best multigrain bagel I've ever had (seriously), generous amounts of avocado, shredded sharp cheddar cheese and a perfectly-cooked fried egg. It was only then I realized there was booze here. BOOZE? My mouth watered for a mimosa, but my deadline reached out and slapped me across the face and said ORDER COFFEE, so I did.
I've returned a few times and I've learned the ways. If you want food, go as early as you can. They seem to run out of a lot of ingredients around 1pm, which is a testament to fresh quality but can also be an inconvenience if you're dying for something in particular. That said, everything I've tried there so far has been delicious!
There are no wall outlets, so make sure your writing device is fully charged if you plan to camp out for a while.
And bring a friendly face! Everyone here is incredibly nice.
