Copper star wins five stars from me! I've enjoyed two visits to this lovely little coffee house in the melrose district of 7th ave, both have been delightful. The owner was very nice in giving me an extra stamp on the "punch" card for my first visit. I am a big fan of being rewarded for my loyalty so after 9 drinks (from apple juice to plain ole "drip") you get a 10th free (and we're talking lattes!)...
There is a diverse quiet crowd here, and everyone pretty much keeps to themselves in a good way. The music was not over the top, but current and enjoyable. The shabby art on the walls is kind of fun to look at while they are steaming up that extra foam.
I've sat outside both times and have been inspired to do a little after coffee antiquing, although I have yet to venture off of the patio with my latte.
All in all, A+, great coffee, delicious strawberry cupcakes, good people, chill atmosphere..
