Sling me some CAFFEINE!The drinks: The espresso drinks don’t skimp quality-wise, but it’s the alternative beverages that are most impressive here, with a dozen varieties of smoothies (all available in non-dairy), seven nutrient add-ins and five meal-replacement mixes to pick from.
The nosh: Limited to a rotating selection of pastries, and comparatively few options at that, but the muffins and Danishes are massive, and the scone flavors are wildly inventive (dig that white-chocolate raspberry).
The vibe: Homey. An abundance of colorful, plush indoor seating and array of for-sale gift items including local art and nifty hand-painted wine boxes invite simultaneous sipping and shopping. Bonus points for the piles of books/mags, prominent community message boards and participation in various local programs. The bathrooms are remarkably schmancy, to boot.
Work-friendly? Wi-fi and well-placed outlets ensure that whoever’s taking notes at the next Sierra Club meeting or Obama-rally planning committee has access to national stats at their fingertips.
Overall: Not even the giant coffee cup atop an equally giant saucer owner Jennifer Schai affixed over the curtained stage/meeting area can hold all the good vibes that have flowed outward since City Blend’s September opening. |
