| - Rob Halford-inspired stuffed mermen. That is my biggest impression from my (so-far) single visit to the Mighty Cup. No, I'm not kidding.
My hubby & I met with a good friend here, for a bit of a send-off over a late-night cuppa. I chose it, based on other, positive Yelper postings (thanks!).
What I really liked:
1. This place was open until 10 pm-ish. In downtown Glendale, that is unheard of.
2. It's close enough to Glendale Ave so that I wasn't nervous about parking there at night.
3. The space is a re-used house, reminiscent of the early days of the original Willow House. Small and homey.
4. It's crammed full of really funky, locally-made arts and crafts. I was dying to buy one of the leather mermen (seriously, I'll have to post the pic I took) but I need another knickknack like a hole in the head. Other items included pin-up door hangers and hand-painted fans.
5. The iced dark mocha that I got was really good, super rich tasting even though it was nonfat. Hubby was ok with his usual iced triple latte - he rarely gets excited about anything. I can't recall the price for two 'grande'-sized drinks, but I'm pretty sure it was under $10, including tip.
What I wasn't so thrilled about:
1. The wait. I totally get that it's a bare-bones, relaxed staff and that we were there on movie night, but should it really take a full 5 minutes per drink, when the three of us were the only paying customers? I must mention, though, the woman who was providing service was very nice. Just really slow. I'll have to remember to put my 'relaxed' hat on, the next time I go. I'm usually in such a rush, that I get easily irritated with those who aren't at the same pace. So, I'll file this under 'expect it when I return'... and I will return. =)
