I'm so..sleepy today.....zzzzzzz.
HOLD UP!!!!!!
I have to wake up! Spring/Winter/Summer/Fall all in one week??? What is a Brooklyn girl to do? Drink Java and lots of it. Someone, somewhere start roasting those coffee beans cuz Fawn needs to WAKE UP! I'm not sure about you, but Spring has not sprung for me and I'm still recovering from setting my clock forward, back.. YEESH!
Is there such a thing of Springtime blues???
Thus, after my first caffeine jolt courtesy of the Mexican Coke I imbibed at nearby Gueros, my body and brain said " You need coffee, NOW!
My feet walked 300 feet and stopped at Black Milk Coffee and Crepe Cafe for.. what.. else?? Coffeeeeeee!
The vibe is cozy, sleepy patrons like myself were seated hovering over their laptops like zombies, some were actually awake and chatting and some were digging into their amazing crepes!
Me? I ran to place my order of coffeeeeee! I ordered a cappuccino with oat milk and a vanilla macaron so my cappuccino had a wake up treat too.
The setting is a bit industrial with murals and hanging creatures and lights... hey I'm still not awake! I took my treats to a countertop and stared at the most beautiful thing...Coffeeee! My cappuccino had that heart swirl on top... not for long tho as I tore open a sugar in the raw packet and watched that heart disappear in seconds.
First sip? Delightful.. second sip I can actually accept the bright lights.. third sip..need a bite of macaron.
The vanilla macaron was airy, fresh and dare I say it ( I'm going to get in trouble but hey folks I'm half awake!) better than LaDuree macarons on West Broadway in Soho. There I said it!
Well, that did the trick..I was able to stand up and fly right. I walked right up to the ordering station and complimented my barista and raved about the macaron. And yes, I shared the macaron was better than LaDuree's. Hey, when you're on a caffeine high words come out..
It's great to find a new coffee spot and as this cafe is near to Botanic Garden, it is their responsibility to WAKE Fawn up in the nearby future.
As I left, I noticed it was still light out and a touch of Spring/Summer/Winter/Fall was in the air.
Black Milk Coffee and Crepe Cafe is located on Franklin Avenue,@10 minute walk from Franklin Avenue Station.
Arrive sleepy.. very sleepy.. zzzzzzz
