Not bitter and just the right amount of sweet. Pretty much that is what I order at all coffee shops. The other walls have artistic photography that you can buy, if you like that sort of thing. It’s on the corner of one of those older warehouse style buildings and some of the walls are exposed brick. It’s a lot better than I had originally remembered it.
I went back to Halcyon, on 4th street, for a cup of coffee today. I have finally found a Machiatto that closely compares! It’s not EXACTLY the same, but it’s close! I’m sure that the rest of their coffees are just as good! I definitely recommend this place for coffee and entertainment! I was depressed when none of them turned out to be the same type of drink. When I was in Italy, I became so addicted to Machiattos that when I came home, I immediately went to a coffee shop to have one. Every so often, I have to try a Machiatto when I go to a coffee shop. I also want to mention the coffee from Ruta Maya, since that is their primary job! 🙂 I got a Machiatto. So not only did I get something I liked, I did some good in the world too! 🙂 That morning, I had just been thinking that I needed a scarf, so I bought one! He is going to send me some kind of tax form in the mail. The scarves were pure silk and they were really nice. He told me that the scarves were imported from Madagascar and that to purchase one gives a donation to Madagascar, (or something like that). Being somewhat of a shop-a-holic, I had to go and check them out. They also had a guy sitting in the shop with lots of pretty scarves. It was exciting to see someone of his caliber be the first person sing at a concert at a local coffee house! I hope I will get to see him again. They sing one of my favorite songs, The Way.
I came home and googled him and found that he is in the band Fastball. So, I began getting more and more curious about him. He kept making mention that he had written the songs with this person and that. The first singer got up to sing and I kept recognizing a lot of the tunes and even some of the songs. Also, there was a second level where adults could go and sit without being disrupted by the children. I found out that the concert benefitted a music program for preschool children, which is probably why it was so packed with kids. I was concerned when I walked in and saw the hundreds of little kids running around that I had gone to the wrong place for a date with my husband. Last night we happen to get there for a benefit concert. It’s also a nice place for adults with their great concert series. They not only specialize in coffee, they have lots of programs for children, such as yoga, puppet shows, a play area with books, toys and computers for kids! Congress is a great place to get organic coffee.
