An old friend took me to a new café in my neighborhood – – there hasn’t been one I’ve liked within walking distance – – until now!
Nice and sunny—good light for making little things from yarn. Not cheap, but nowhere is. A cup of brewed coffee is $4.25, but that includes tax & tip, so that’s not bad. Lattes are $7.25.
Brewed it is!
Pastry prices?
Best to eat at home first.
I spread out the God’s eyes I’d made to take their photo, and a young woman came over and asked me what they were. I told her, and I said she could have one if she wanted.
She hesitated, so I said, “Please don’t feel you have to take one.”
And she said, “No, I really want one! I was just deciding.”
(I always feel awkward offering people something – – I don’t want them to feel they have to accept out of politeness. A neurotic thing to worry about. 🙄😆)
the new cafe sounds lovely! i used to have one near me that i would walk to every day as i could work there. then the owner got mad at the city for building a parking garage so he closed it. and ended up paying 4 years of rent because of the stubbornness. recently walking by i see the inside is being changed out so maybe something new.

I used to write/edit in cafes when I was working in publishing.
DeleteI could use some grays, browns, and black yarn, yes please!
Sounds like a good café...but it is so sad that you have to tip instead of them having decent wages
