a new winner

I was in Greenpoint today. We decided to have brunch and went to Brooklyn Label. I had taken a photo of the space for The L and noticed they served Stumptown coffee. They are really picky about who they let serve their coffee so I was interested in trying it.

The only way to test is to order a cappuccino, so I did. I have to tell you, that first sip hit me with a wave of emotions I haven't felt since 2005. I was instantly transported back to my favorite cafe of all time, in Florence, Italy called Cafe Rapphella. This cup of cappuccino tastes the most similar to what I can remember of Cafe Rapphella's. I still can't get over it. It was a really well made cappuccino and was only made better by the fact the Stumptown coffee tasted really balanced. I used just 1 sugar packet and it was the perfect amount. I don't even have to go to Joe's anymore after this. It's going to be really hard not going to Brooklyn Label every day soon to get a cappuccino. Holy shit.

It's WARM this weekend

I just went down to Joe to get a mocha and it is WARM outside today! It's 56 degrees in the city right now, and it looks to be the same tomorrow. People are sitting on the steps again, that makes me happy. Hipsters are out in full force, chubby NYU students are going out for runs, and some people are even just out in t-shirts thinking their sooo cool cuz it's March and all they have on are t-shirts. I love NYC.

This mocha I got has way too much chocolate. Only the cute girl who draws hearts on mine make them the best.
