Fantastic! Let’s start with the coffee bar. Counter Culture coffee and made from scratch flavoring syrups, by Jackie, the coffee shop manager. They are magnificent! The Carmeletto is sublime. She has an awesome variety of local teas, like Jasmine pearl and white peach and they are steeped perfectly and available hot or iced.
The food is delicious and well-priced. We shared the Baby Green salad with cranberries, walnuts and camembert that was delish. The fried green tomatoes are out of this world, the breading just right and fried to perfection with a light, lemony aioli for dipping. The wait staff are friendly and you’d never have known it was opening day!
The surroundings are just gorgeous with warm, luminous wood floors and beautiful exposed brick walls. It all feels very warm yet light and airy. I can’t wait to go back at night and sample the beer menu and the cocktails looked unique and exciting. Another great thing I noticed is that, even though it was crowded and people were having animated discussions, the sound inside was not too loud or echo-ey to be able to hear your table mate.
Seriously, check it out. I can’t wait to go back. Oh, and parking is a snap.
