i was thrilled with a new neighborhood discovery today, smooch cafe, just a block away from my place. first of all, it's ridiculously cute. little stools and couches and brick walls and snap shots of cool people all around. the people that work there are super friendly. i walked in solo style on a saturday morning, sat at the bar and got into a lovely discussion with the international employees (aussie and israeli), philosophizing about life and love. and the best part: GOOD COFFEE!
i've been looking for a decent latte in this neighborhood ever since i moved to fort greene. the places around here make them too light or too bitter or too foamy or scalding hot and charge $4. so stupid. but this place reminded me of the lattes they made in new zealand like these. perfect espresso strength, yummy taste, just a touch of foam. delicious. funny how something so simple can make me so happy. guess it's the coffee snob in me (thanks starbucks).
like i told the cute employees today, "i'll be back."
