| - The most perfect Mocha yesterday -- special for me. Whole milk, 1/3 the chocolate so not so sweet. The chocolate flavor was yummy, and the milk was frothy & steamed to perfection. The baristas are cute and capable! and, of course, there's John.
The clothing varies, as each artist creates a unique item. There are wonderful variations on strange and cute polyester double knit, reconstructed dresses evoking an illicit coupling Twiggy and Marcia Brady, yummy sexy slip dresses fit for a faerie. Big bold copper and stainless buckles and pendants in a modernist style, dainty woven seed bead necklaces, smocked velvet bags. Painted 33-1/2 vinyl, and delicate pen-and-ink drawings and ACEOs. A little of everything, and almost all are one-of-a-kind. Even some of the t-shirts are unique! (I'm not into t-shirts, but the guys like them swell enough.
It's a neighborhood shop! and funky. So if you want to meet people who live nearby, and hang out there, it's great. I always seem to meet people there I know from somewhere else -- we must be responding to the same magnet. If you want Starbucks uniformity and stained birch furniture, well, this is not the place for you. Even tho the coffee is better!
I just wish they had drip coffee for the times when the line is so long, and I just want caffeine! But that won't even take away 1/2 a star. I can survive.
