I absolutely love this place. Here are my personal reasons:
-They have nutella coffee... that deserves 5 stars alone.
-They have great customer service. They nearly always remember my husband's name since he is in there more often than I am.
-You can call in your coffee order ahead of time.... what?! Yes, you really can. This is an amazing thing! Take that Starbucks!
-They have great food and on Tuesday nights you can get $20 for a bottle of wine and bruschetta. Don't get me wrong, I love Postino's for this deal, but this place actually has parking without the hassle!
-You can bring your dog...although it seems like very few people take advantage of this.
-They have bike racks for when we ride our beach cruisers over instead of walking
-It's walking distance
-Cute patio with misters and fresh herbs growing all around
-The Nutella/Espresso martini. It's no longer on the menu (or wasn't last time I was in), but I've asked and they've still made it for me. So. Freaking.Good.
If you aren't convinced yet, stop reading this and just go try it out.
Don't expect a huge menu or a large indoor seating area. It's tiny and it's meant to be a great, tiny, local spot. Go when the weather is nice and sit outside while sipping a nutella martini and eating bruschetta. If you're disappointed, then I'm not sure what to tell you.
