. "4.5 stars\nWhat kind of coffee place doesn't recycle? Is this a new thing?\n\nRecycling aside, Smelly Cat was the perfect place for some caffeine fortification before the return leg of a road trip. Ended up with a frappe with an extra shot of espresso, and it was lovely and tasty. The dirty chai gets a lot of press, but I love my classics. Parking is free for two hours (put your receipt on the dash!)\n\nI assume that this is named for Smelly Cat of Phoebe of Friends fame (maybe they should have Friends reruns playing? too blatant?), and it's a lovely little coffee shop with plenty of comfy seating and knick knacks and decor that you'd expect from a local little hipster-ish coffee shop. This is totally the kind of coffee shop I would hang out in to catch up with an old friend, or to solo write or read. Busy, cosy, but not too crazy.\n\nSide note: They ran out of whipped cream while fixing my friend Kristen B's frappe and I was as put out as a five year old who doesn't get rainbow sprinkles on her sundae. However, they said I could come back for it in a few, and they totally did when I came back for it later!"^^ . . "0"^^ . "0"^^ . "2016-05-04T00:00:00"^^ . . "4"^^ . "2"^^ .
