So on the same evening after our dinner at Sumac, my friend and I took shelter from the wind and chilly at Eative.
I definitely liked the layout of the sitting area which was a up a few short steps where a large canvas was hung up on a wall for showing movies. And also by the entrance was the coffee bar with their own selection of cakes and some tea blends, and also what I can describe as a "see through" kitchen because that's what I was able to view when I looking past the baristas while making my order.
I first tried a Machiatto which was well... okay this is the first time I ever tried a non-Starbucks Caramel Machiatto which is usually the size of a tall regular brew... but the Machiatto that I got hear was only a little bigger than a shot glass. I was surprised by the size of it, but alright, after looking up pictures of other Machiattos, I now have been reassured that this is what a standard serving of the drink looks like. But I'm glad I tried it, it's an acquired taste.
And for a dessert I had if I remember a Peanut Butter Chocolate Cheesecake which had the right combination of flavors that went well with the Machiatto. But then our chat started taking on a interesting turn as we stared talking about cultures of different civilizations so I wanted to get another cup of caffeine to go with the mood of our conversation. I just got a small latte which was what I was familiar with and after added a bit of sugar to it I was able to enjoy it.
All in all I'm just grateful that my friend and I came across this cafe while trying to find a place to get away from the cold. I wouldn't mind returning here again in the future.
