steve's espresso

we did steve's espresso tonight for the first time. really enjoyed the coffee. 2 americanos, 1 french roast coffee, 1 honey vanilla latte, an iced carmel macchiato & a raspberry chocolate soy milk. quite happy with everything.

we're trying to break out of our lux rut (though that's not a bad rut to be in) so we're trying to sample some different spots. as comparison, tried coffee rush recently & while it was a very cool place & setup, the wife (the house coffee afficiado) wasn't keen on the coffee. she definitely liked steve's.

the place was very laid back & comfortable. being old & small kid laden, we didn't have laptops with us but we could see it's a very laptop friendly place as well (free wi-fi, outlets/power strips all over & single/double tables lining the walls near the outlets) if that matters to you. just a well conceived place in many ways.

to us, it's just about the coffee and we were happy with every drink we had. we will definitely go back.

also had a cranberry scone (forgot i read they were recommended on this thread) and the aussie two scone eaters with us were very impressed (dug it myself but i wouldn't know a good scone from a bad one).
