| - In a neighborhood of Korean restos, chain coffee shops and scrubby college dives, Snakes and Lattes stands out. An indie coffee shop with an entertaining twist and lively employees? I am in!
Checked it out last night for a latte. Yes, predictable, since it's in the name, but they don't disappoint. My barista took his time making a truly top-notch latte with the yin-yang symbol as latte art! When I complimented his artistry, he was friendly and fun. The staff here is all like that. With thousands of games, they can explain how they are organized by card game, board game, trivia game, etc, and if you are looking for a particular title, tell them. They'll find it for you.
At 6PM on a Thursday, the place was filling up with 20-somethings looking for a relaxing evening in good company. This place packs them in! I suggest arriving by 5:30 on a weekday and God knows when on a weekend, especially now that the cold weather is coming.
I didn't try the food, but they have an array of pastries and sandwiches. They even offer beer.
