| - To say that this is one of my favourite coffee shops in the city would be an understatement. Furthermore, there has not been one single individual whom I have bestowed the wonderful introduction that did not share the same love and enthusiasm for the place. It is an old brewery house that has been revamped, while preserving its historic and warm brick stoned and wooden infrastructure, into a coffee house. A beautiful crystal chandelier hangs mid-air which compliments the surrounding providing a feel of stepping into a moment of the Victorian Era. At the intricate counter, which is decorated with delightful treats teasingly awaiting to compliment the delicious coffee drinks available, stands a beautiful and shiny imported,right out Italy, espresso machine that can be admired and appreciated by espresso connoisseurs and those lack there of.
This two floored coffee house is spacious, cozy and accommodative for those who come in pairs or small groups. Even more so for that lone escapist two may just wanna curl up with a good book, a warm cup of coffee and sweet pastry? Or perhaps thats just me:) There is also a small parameter that is marked as an extension to this house. Small tables and wooden summer chairs are set up for the taking to those who want to absorb the sun and good weather while enjoying a good session of people watching.
AND ON THAT NOTE:
Almost every weekend there are events! Stands fill the stoned path streets of Distillery District to make a pleasurable marketplace made up of artists, cloth and jewel makers, cooks and other intricate product entrepreneurs showcasing and selling their products. Expect live music of different genres to be visible and heard in resonance from the dead center of this little bazaar. All to which can be witnessed as one people watches from the little place of reserve set up for Balzac customers to enjoy.
As lovely as this sounds and truly is, there are some short-fallings; or at least that, too, is open to interpenetration. There is NO WIFI! Yes, no wifi! Talk about truly stepping into a time in the past. So bring a good book, good company or your own internet. Furthermore, considering how unique and popular this gem of a place it, those who know of it will stand in the line that can sometimes be as long as a half-an-hour wait! The wait can be alarming and nerving for those used to instant-gratified coffee individuals. Just keep in mind that there is a reason why those in line have also been waiting as long as you have.
All in all, this place is wonderful for escape, to cozy up on your own, with someone or a small good company, with a book or a laptop, whatever ones heart desires, it is highly unlikely to disappoint and a time well wasted.
