Ecru is Villino's little takeaway brother--a hole in the wall a couple of doors down from big bro, with a few street-side seats if you really need to focus on one thing at a time (ie drinking THEN walking).
Ecru's coffee is consistently great, but what makes me give it five stars is the joy of preordering. Say what? Download the Rewardle app onto your smartphone and hand some extra cash over next time you buy a coffee from Ecru, and they'll put it on your Rewardle account. Then the next time you're running late for work, roll over in bed and load up the app, order your coffee THEN jump on your bike. Grab it on your way through and keep going.
That basically describes exactly what I do on those desperate days. And it's perfect. It's glorious. It's everything I've ever wanted.
The coffee's delicious, too.
(Only negative is that Ecru's cash-only. But throw a wad of cash at Rewardle and you won't have to worry about cash-carrying every time you need a coffee anyway.)
