| - I only have praises for Tango Palace Coffee Company. There was not one thing that was not to my liking.
From the funny barista to the homey decor to the coffee and finally their selection of sweets....
It really is a neighbourhood coffee joint in that the barista knows the regulars and they carry on a conversation as if they have been friends for a very long time. The outside has a rather rustic bistro look to it that reminds you of Paris or New York City in the movies. The furniture is antique wood, the remnants of an antique shop that used to share the space that is now solely occupied by Tango Palace Coffee Company.
In addition to the normal coffee bar offerings (coffee, lattes, cappuccinos), they have a vast array of biscottis, tarts, cakes, and cookies to go with. The "Hammer Head" caught my eye. Upon inquiring, I learned that it is made with 2 shots of espresso and a bold coffee... Where was this place in my University days where all-nighters were all the rage?! The barista had me at 2 shots of espresso. I also ordered a peanut butter cookie to go with my stronger-than-Arnold java - and I did not regret it. I have always drank strong coffees, and this really "hit the nail on the head" with its intense, dark roasted flavour. I take my coffee black, and so the peanut butter cookie was the perfect accompaniment for my coffee. I think I'm in love?
I could see myself coming here to sip on a cup of coffee while reading a book, or sipping a cup of coffee as I blog. I will definitely be back!
