Caffe Latte Da
Anecdotes & Analysis
The coffee here is no better or worse than in any of the dozens of other gourmet java joints, but it does have a leg up on its competitors: the proprietor is a talented, classically trained baker, and his pastries, breads, and even lunch specials are superb. The place really is a cottage, and offers a nice contrast to the modernistic starkness of most coffeeshops.
