Hey Guys,...
I have just returned from the states, and I did spend a little bit of time in Seattle, reputably the coffee capital of the US. I went to the very first Starbucks -- whoopppeeee,... hey, I can say Ive seen it!
Personally,.. Starbucks does NOTHING for me,.. but Americans seen to love it. Triple Half Caf Fancy Vanilla Coffee Grande - give me a break! They cant make a decent coffee to save themselves!
I tried Seattles Best Coffee,... another chain store over there, and once youve had that, no one would blame you for giving up,... figuring if that is the best they have to offer, theres no hope!
Eventually, after a lead from Robusto, I found my way to Espresso Vivace. Whilst its interesting what they produce as a Latte (what we would refer to as a Flat White) and a Cappuccino (what we would refer to as a Flat white..?!?! :-/) and their menu states that a cappuccino is a Long Latte :-/.... their coffee is exceptionally good. The atmosphere inside this particular cafe was outstanding. Finally, a decent coffee experience in the US. I was impressed.
Here are a couple of quick pics I snapped... I LOVED their floor mosaics!
