I never realized what a following this place has. I’ll have to stop in and try a cup!
Mazel tov, indeed.
Love the PS symbol in front – a stroller (and a Bugaboo at that!).
agree that sbux may ‘dumb down’ the machines for cost and even time of prep, their economies of scale may help on the cost issue right out of the gate. i dont see them putting these in every store, but from a marketing perspective this may be a machine that gets layered in rather than replace existing drip machines to create a multi-tiered pricing strategy. i.e. you can get a regular drip for 1.50, or a clover coffee for 2.00.
all just speculation for now.
ive only been in there like twice, but yeah they were super slow.

I don’t think I have, Rob. I haven’t been to a McDonalds in probably 2 or 3 years. Do they take a long time to make stuff down there…?

ugh have you been to the mcdonalds on 4th avenue?!

Cafe 🙁 makes me 🙂
Another great addition to South Slope…I wish it/them the best of luck. Hopefully its roasting/brewing pedigree and yummy coffee contributes to it lasting longer than the other coffee shop that was in the retail space where the salon is now (seen in the picture). I love my ‘hood, and this stretch of 7th has certainly seen its fair share of shop closings recently. Mazel mazel, Grumpy.
I also meant to add that there is a big difference between a good cup of coffee and a strong one (Starbucks).
I agree, 11217. I don’t go to Starbucks anyway.
