I tried Volta Espresso this morning. I wanted to get out of the house and relax with a coffee before the busyness of the day. I always go to Starbucks but it finally occurred to me that I really should check out the indie coffee shops near me.
This cafe is really small and wonderful. The barista was such a nice guy and really kind to the customers. I enjoyed chatting with him. I bought a mocha and a muffin. When I order a mocha from the big chain coffee shops I always ask for "half sweet" so it isn't too sugary. I forgot to ask here and for the first time in my life a coffee shop made a mocha exactly to my taste! It wasn't too sweet at all, it was perfect (and I didn't need to add sugar.) It also looked gorgeous. I loved it. The muffin was delish and tasted really fresh to me. It must have been baked not too long before I came in. Prices are also really great.
The window is so nice and sunny and the music choice is perfect. There's also a little bench out front. It's actually so sunny that next time if I come on a sunny day I'll take my coffee to a park to enjoy it. Must be nice on a cold winter day though to go to Volta for some sunshine. I live so close, I'll definitely enjoy coming back often!
