As some of you can tell, I drink a lot of coffee/lattes. So I was invited or persuaded to go try a new coffee place that I didn't mention on my blog."The Bean" on College street.
Now, I love a mid-day latte, specially after wolfing down a Big Fat Burrito! Today was no exception. I was on my way back to my perch when I decided to drop in on "The Bean".
At first, I was a little hesitant. I noticed they didn't have any chairs outside for the smoking coffee drinkers, not that I'm one. I decided to give it a try anyway. I was met by a very pleasant person. This already eased my hesitation.
Then a smile came to my face when I discovered that "The Bean" had a liquor license! Image that! A place that was homey, relaxed and on College. Plenty of visual stimuli and it has booze! Now, I didn't see any Single Malts, nor any blends.... Oh well, at least there was "Stoli", I mean it is a coffee bar!
Which brings me back to the latte. I didn't really get a chance to look at the crema that came with the espresso (I was looking at the wine list...meh! But $5.00 for the house... meh). The latte itself, well I've had better. Sorry! It had that taste of lattes from places that you go to with your mom... on a Sunday brunch in the 905. Kinda weak or watered down, even though I had the double. I still have that homo milk film residue on my tongue. The temperature for the drink was kinda medium, so I liked that, it's not something that my leather tongued friends would enjoy.
Having said that, I will go back, if they'll have me. I'll bring friends. For the cheap wine and there is plenty of seating room, snack like food(I didn't look at the entire menu), and free wi-fi!
All places should have free wi-fi! I hope I didn't offend, I just like my lattes strong.
