I loved this little coffee shop - no time to linger though. Coffee (skim lattes) were great - we enjoyed them. Space was lovely and unique. Antique coffee paraphanalia spread around the place was fun to look at. Everything was clean and orderly. Yes, look at the designs on the coffee - a nice touch. :-)
Would I recommend? Yes - anyone who likes hot drinks, and is in the area should stop at Balzacs.
Would I return? Yup - it will be my first stop next time we are in the district, instead of my last - will make sure we allow time to sit and enjoy the space.
