| - Hip. Organic. Coffee.
----------------------
I kept trying to find Drip Coffee Lounge for ages and would somehow end up by the ballpark, completely befuddled, until finally noticing it this morning, realizing it was just on the other side of Trente-Cinq from the Lisa G Wine Bar, where I was last night. Go figure.
Nice, hip, modern interior (plus menus on the tables in the form of DVD cases) and really friendly barristas. My 16 oz double soy latte was $4.95 (ouch) but I will say it's the best made double soy latte I've had in a long, long time. I then sat on the couch and browsed through the New York Times on the coffee table.
I'd say it's got a real pleasant, agreeable atmosphere to relax on a weekend morning. I didn't have any food, but another customer who had gotten a sandwich ($6) to go came back in with her box to ask why there was only a half sandwich and a bunch of chips in her box. "We have small portions" was the response. The customer then left a little bewildered as she kept saying, "I'm just really surprised."
So take that incident for whatever it is. Don't know how often I'll be spending $5 for two shots of espresso and steamed soy milk (which, in all essence, means I should just stay home and make my own damn coffee, but then that would get real old real fast), but my own personal experience here was a good one. Thumbs up.
