| - Like toy stores or Chevy Chase's hairline, these kind of places are disappearing fast. Maybe it's due to the huge expansion of the brand name coffeeshops, but you just don't see enough cafes like this.
From the exterior, it's a pinprick between Central and Laurie Aves., but the inside is spacious. It lacks little nooks, but there are enough tables for any kind of conversation or work needing attention. CCC has a relaxed (not hip) vibe, something that's also uncommon. An informative barista who recommended drinks and explained them and a Robert Johnson soundtrack also struck out.
I don't often get baked goods, but there's a selection that doesn't look like it's been festering in the cooler for weeks.
In a world where a regular cup of coffee can be $3.50, getting the "Central Shorty," a $2 shot of espressso, vanilla syrup, and milk on top was as refreshing as the caffeine buzz after working during the day.
If you're looking for a place to experiment around with a periodic table-like menu, and you don't want to be spoken down to during your lessons, Central Coffee is a best bet.
