| - If you believe in karma and visited Cartel Monday (3/29) and left your iPod (you know the make and model if you really did)... just ask the barista and they should be holding your mobile jukebox. I believe in karma and in return from my good deed, I received a 5 star experience coffee experience.
Man, this is a great place to come sit, sip, and vibe. Tonight I went with the Americano with a Mocha to go for the wife. Both are stellar drinks and I picked up a bag of the Black Market Espresso to try at home.
As for the sitting, there are a few tables in the front for you to get some one on one time, 2 couches which are fairly comfy and then a lot of cafeteria like arrangements, so if you are a little shy, then grab a cup to go. I would recommend coming in and feeding off the vibe. They usually have some form of good music whether it is the speakers or a live DJ. It is a very industrial feel inside, but the energy is amazing.
It is also one of the best cups of joe I have experienced in the valley (whether drinking in or taking out). The coffee has bold rich flavors and it is roasted right there onsite. If you are in during roasting hours, then that just adds to the overall experience.
Overall it is a very hip indie vibe and my new hot spot while the wife is in her night classes. Man, this is a great place....oh and don't forget to check your pockets for your iPod.
