Sweetness 7

Sweetness 7: Best coffeeshop to work from in Buffalo.  Located on the vibrant west side near Guercio & Sons Italian grocery.

The amount of cafes in New Orleans overwhelmed me.  I didn’t even try to find my one coffeeshop to work from.  I just worked from any old cafe, knowing that I would never have enough time in a month to find my favorite.  However, Sara found Satsuma cafe, which I didn’t visit until my last day.  Had I found it earlier, Satsuma, in the Bywater, would’ve been the one.  Double americano and strawberry basil muffin.

I searched Miami high and low for a coffeeshop that had decent and affordable coffee, reliable wifi, comfortable seating, and maybe a friendly barista or two.  I was surprised to find nothing even close (although there was great cuban coffee all over the city).  Pensacola, on the other hand, surprised me with End of the Line Cafe, a bohemian vegan cafe.  While I prefer dairy milk in my coffee over soy or almond milk, I’ll take it for the atmosphere at End of the Line.  The folks are nice, the music is great, and the vegan sandwiches (blt and tempeh reuben) are excellent.  They have a fixed dinner on Thursdays and brunch on Sundays.  I’ll let you know.

Generally, I am not so sure about the current cupcake obsession thing, but some days I get it.  When I walked to Baked and Wired in Georgetown for some coffee.  Simple curiosity led me to carelessly peruse the cupcake options until my eyes landed on the pistachio cardamom cupcake.  SOLD.   And when I looked up while adding cream to my coffee, I saw the above photo.  Cardamom is my all time favorite spice, and in coffee it is divine (Hampton Chutney Co in NYC combines these deliciously).  This small jar alone made Baked and Wired a shoe in for my coffee road map.

If you look to the left, you will see I’ve added a Coffeeshop map by my Food Road Map.  This is where I collect some of the best caffeine houses I’ve spent way too many hours in.
