Needing some afternoon coffee and craving for a piece of cake, we decided to actually visit the Globe Coffee Lounge downtown. We've always been talking about going there for sangria (they have an evening for real good sangria!) and never really committed to it. But now, we we're psyched!
It's a quaint little coffee place. The type you'll more likely see in downtown New York with all the eclectic furniture (seemingly salvaged from yard sales or second hand shops?) and walls peppered with just as varied types of works of art that are also for sale. It's very cozy and comfy...plus the "regulars" just make you feel like your an artiste just by virtue of osmosis.
Anyway, the coffee was actually good (the guy at the counter actually reminded me that it's NO Starbuck's coffee, how very anti-establishment LOL) and the cake called "Luv" was just as good! (It wasn't spiked...I think) And while you have your machiato, you can sit down on one of their couches and play whatever board game they offered (to kill time.) How all-in-one is that!
So try something different...and support your local coffee place!
