It was a warm Sunday morning - Sipping our espresso drinks and basking in the gentle sunshine, we felt like we were in some quaint European city.....what I imagine Italy to be actually. It seemed like our PhDs were far far behind us - which is another reason that atleast some of us like to get out of La Jolla looking for coffee places.
I tasted my first real Espresso Macchiato and it was delicious - most of my experience with American coffee so far was the regular coffee from coffee carts at school that you serve yourself .... Not at all as strong or flavourful as the South Indian filter coffee I am used to- so the espresso was a very heartening experience.The lattes that we got were also quite good.
Not much of a selection as far as food is concerned - just a panini or two and some bakeries...they do plan to open a pizzeria soon and I am definitely going back for that - there is a gigantic open oven at the entrance that looks promising....meanwhile, theres a lot of good pizza happening on the same street.(One of which has been attested to by an Italian acquaintance) .
So if want, you can have yourself a complete Italian brunch experience!
The espresso macchiato that I ordered you mean? ;)
