Oh my god, this place is fucking amazing.
Ngarie and Della would absolutely love this place.
Train and I caught the bus at 9:40am and came here, it's only about a 10 or 15 min ride from our house to this place. Upon first walking in, the place seemed quite empty; one table with 3 middle aged people at it, and the girl (maybe mid 20s?) behind the counter. We kind of stood there awkwardly for a moment, looking around, wondering what to have. I asked the girl what she'd recommend for breakfast, and she said the chef Chris who was on today was really great at cooking everything. Everything here is either Vegetarian or Vegan, and most of it is organic and fairtrade too :)
Train decided to have buttermilk pancakes with maple syrup and some cooked apple and pear and an earl grey tea and I had scrambled eggs on toast with cooked potatoes and a mocha. The girl behind the counter (named Marta) said she didn't know how to use the espresso machine, and I told her I'd been using them for 2 years and so she let me make my own drink. It was the best fucking coffee I'd had in America so far. Proper organic fairtrade coffee and everything. She was impressed that I made a little heart on top of it, I was ecstatic :D
She said she works from Weds-Sun every week and that I could come in and make myself a coffee whenever she was working :) There is a lot of anarchist art and reading material adorning the walls, and they have some rad tshirts for sale for $5. The food was really decently priced too, I think both of our meals and drinks came to $16 all up.
Note to self: Awesome girl punk band: Bratmobile. Song I like: Cherry Bomb
I'm glad you've finally found a decent coffee somewhere, even if you had to make it yourself :)
