The Coffee Bar

This place has been closed about a year, the building is demolished

Garbage. Coffee was bitter and they use Torani syrup. I won’t go anywhere that doesn’t use Monin for specialty coffee.

*3.5 stars*
The first time I went into The Coffee Bar, I was just looking for a mocha for myself and an iced tea for mom. The place had only recently opened, and apparently had been something else in its previous life. The reason I know this is because — as I was standing at the counter at 11.30am on a Saturday morning — an older man (who looked like he’d seen a thing or two in his life) slowly walked in, looked around and then addressed me, «Is the bar gone?!» Yes, sir, I believe you can no longer get booze here before noon — caffeine only.
Anyway, my mocha was good. The next time mom and I got a quick breakfast before my hair appointment down the block at Tromblay. Service was on the slow side, but food was good. And it seems the place has gained a foothold in the neighborhood, as every table was occupied.
