| - Admittedly, whenever I hear "coffee house that sells art", I subliminally associate it with "hipsters with a disdainful attitude". FABO blew that theory out of the water.
I went for a meeting, and wanted to arrive a few minutes early. The server greeted me with a great attitude, and explained a few things about the artists and what FABO offers food and beverage-wise. Not once did she launch into a monologue, just little snippets of information, and when I asked more questions, she seemed knowledgeable and happy to answer.
Ordered a vanilla latte, it was very good. I didn't try any of the pastries, so I can't comment on those, but they looked delicious and fresh. The space is bright, airy, and comfortable. The art and other items for sale are well displayed, making the space interesting to be in, rather than cluttered or visually overwhelming. There's a good mix of soft seating and coffee tables, plus "regular" tables and chairs. I chatted with the owner for a few minutes and she was lovely, as well, and clearly cares about her customers' satisfaction.
I love that this is a place you can stop by for coffee or a glass of wine. I highly recommend FABO, and will be back again!
