I have an on-again off-again love affair with coffee and a steady relationship with sweets. So going to Blue Bottles helped satisfy both of my hungers. They have a chemistry lab for brewing coffee and a high farmstead table for standing and drinking with neighbors, friends, and strangers. I don't want to mislead you, rustic european farm life is not the atmosphere here. At $4 a cup of joe, this NYC cafe feels more like an artist's loft without any furniture.
Definitely worth the stop for some Frankincense-myrrh ginger bread ($2) and some foamy feathers engraved into your cappuccino.
