This place is amazing! I have only been here since Commonplace took over, so I cannot comment on or compare to the old management, but I think they are doing just about everything right.
Great coffee, excellent espresso based drinks and latte art to boot, a bright, modern, pleasant environment for chatting and/or working, and nice baristas.
But the thing about this place that I literally daydream about, and that can occasionally drag me out of Lawrenceville (since I could easily roll down the block to Espresso A Mano anytime) and to Garfield....is the PASTRIES. Holy cannoli they are INCREDIBLE! (although they aren't usually cannolis) Drew's Pie Supply, your baked goods have some serious soul. Can't wait to come here for pie day Friday!
