| - This week my quest for the perfect coffee shop experience took me to Echo. I like the trendy name, every time I told someone I was going there I felt very exclusive. I'm a dork. :)
I like the big patio with with lots of big chairs. I walked in and was instantly in love. They have big metal shelves right when you walk in that have books on them. Not like lame books no one would ever want to read but actual, recent, best sellers books. The counter was nice n clean with melittas sitting there ready to brew. If you knew me you'd know that I am a sucker for alternate brewing methods and Melittas are some of my very favorite.
The woman ordering when I walked in was geeking out over the coffee girl's awesome hair and I stood back, relaxed and listened. I'm always open to tips on hair color. The hipster poster child barista asked me if he could get something started for me with a nice, warm, welcoming smile. I ordered a cappuccino, warm, in a for here mug. In fact, the rave reviews of their cappuccinos are what brought me here in the first place.
When I walked up to pay the girl asked if I'd worked in coffee. Busted. She said she could tell by the way I ordered my cup. I'll take it.
Enough of the awesome people behind the counter. Let's talk about the cup. Beautiful latte art aside, the cappuccino was a little wetter than I like them to be. It didn't quite have the texture of melted ice cream like it should. Okay, I'm being picky. The cappuccino was great, the people were great. I'm not saying this is the end of my search but I will be visiting again.
