New Seasons wasn't my first inclination to grab a coffee in Slabtown. But with a neighboring cafe during peak time adjacent to an outdoor market, and having seen the line wrapping around the block for a cup of joe, I thought that perhaps they would have a little coffee cart as is so en vogue these days in grocery stores. I was rapt to see that indeed they did, and that this was no normal espresso stand. This coffee counter was simply magical. An abundant array of pastries greeted us from inside the counter. Cakes (including a Mt Adams cake!! My most favorite cake in the whole world!) cookies, cannolis, carrot muffins, candies, croissants... you get the picture! And all made with the utmost quality. Sure, it's a coffee shop, but don't be afraid to get your bake on! I grabbed an iced chai to go with my two-bite, pistachio crème and dark chocolate cannolis. My chai was not overly sweet, and you could see bits of spices swirling around. This is the real deal, folks! Making chai at home from scratch is one of my hobbies, so I know a good one when I see it. My partner grabbed a glistening carrot muffin that looked so moist you could put out a matchstick with it.
So anyway, I'm only going to review the coffee shop at New Seasons today. I'll save the rest for next time I find myself shopping there. But A++!!
