| - Analog, I've been avoiding you. But only because every time I walked by you already had a lineup to the door. I thought I'd wait until I had occasion to visit you with less line and when I could really scope you out properly. Thank mew, dear friend who suggested we meet at Analog. I'm feline it!
I've gotta say, you're doing a much better job than the old convenience store that used to occupy this location. And as you're the store front 17th Ave prodigy of Fratello, you'd better be all about the coffee. Lo and behold, you are!
Though Analog does have an offering of the usual specialty coffees, for once, I do believe the drip coffee is a feature! It's filtered on the spot for you, cup by cup. No worries about coffee sitting in a pot or being over heated. It's done with precision. And while we're on the topic of being about the coffee, don't expect much in the way of lunches, etc. There are a few Sidewalk Citizen sandwiches available, and perhaps a few baked goods, but tis about all (not really a criticism so much as a commentary in case you were going in with an appetite).
One other thing to note about Analog. It really does feel, well, analog. Like, you're there to talk to your friends, your lover or whoever else you're meeting for coffee, not to hunker down on your laptop. It's not set up for that. It's set for the non-digital times in your life. But, there are enough other great local shops for laptop working... I'm a-ok with 17th Ave having one less digitally focused. Just don't all of y'all go following suit. Then there might have to be words.
