[Out-of-Towner Review]
How every boutique hotel, boutique coffee shop should be.
All the fellas were nursing hangovers and I was left to my own devices and went on a solo mission to find a new coffee spot (goal of every trip, duh). I knew this one was really close, but I didn't realize it was across the street and through the swanky hotel I'd been seeing every day of my trip.
The bell hop men were so nice, they directed me to the coffee when my phone was being weird with the maps app. I said thanks and went on my merry almost caffeinated way!
Boughie to say the least, I was really under dressed to saunter through this hotel. But oh well, I just wanted coffee. The small coffee shop was super cute, very minimal in decoration, with a small coffee bar for ordering. I couldn't decide between try their house brew or 'treat yo self' with a soy mocha. Since it was our last day of the trip, I went with treat yo self and grabbed a mocha.
I waited for it there and then carefully carried it to the hotel waiting area or the coffee shops additional seating area, I cannot tell the difference, to find a seat. I decided on the very low couch, since no one was sitting there. My soy mocha was divine, although there wasn't enough of it. It was hipsterly priced, but tasted delicious! I could have drank at least four more of them and been completely satisfied.
If swanky people watching is your thing, you'd love this spot. Not everyone is swanky, but the decor definitely is. The coffee shop brings the spot down to reality a bit, but still fits in really nicely.
Since the mocha wasn't enough for me, I decided to grab a house brew to-go, as well as one for one of hungover fellas back at the house. Again, I was happy with my choice to get a second coffee. The price fits in with the location and a local, boutique coffee shop. It was a little pricey, but this is to be expected.
Is hipster swanky even a thing? Cause they nailed it, if it is...
