| - We visited Balzac's Coffee around 10:30am on Saturday, and it was already packed full of people! We barely found anywhere to sit. When you first enter, you are able to see just how popular this cafe is in the city. Their espresso bar is full with all kinds of edible goodies, including cookies, oatmeal, croissants, you name it.
They also had organic hand pressed juices, but the price was too expensive for me to try. :( $8.95! This roastery and cafe is the first of their many locations around the city. They focus on getting every drink right, and even use organic milk!
The place is in two floors, with the second floor being more cozy and quiet than the lower floor. The cafe has beautiful brick walls giving it such a cool ambience. The big chandelier is such a beautiful piece, lighting up the entire cafe.
My husband got their double shot of espresso with a hint of milk. We don't particularly like acidic coffee, but hubby said it is acidic at a comfortable level, you know, not so acidic that the coffee tastes bitter.
I, not being a coffee lover, tried their Parisian Mist - a latte made with French Breakfast tea. I fell in love immediately! It tastes kind of like a chai tea latte, but it is still black tea, if that makes any sense. There is a hint of something that makes it completely different from other black tea lattes out there.
If you're around the area, I suggest you get a cup of their coffee! You will certainly not regret it.
