Congratulations to eeneryma for winning Feature Thread of the Week with 5 votes - View Previous Winners


Who makes me my Decafe Americano several times a week. She knows me well, and when I walk in, she always asks, "the usual?" In the big city, it's a bustling but friendly and casual cafe, a respite from the big city.

Yeah, I know. For most, caffeine is what it's all about. For sensitive me, I have trouble falling asleep if I drink regular coffee.

I get my "fix" across the street at Dunkin D! The ladies are of Spanish heritage and I speak pretty good Spanish. So I can order and converse with them. They see me approach in my van and greet me accordingly, hermano, Always so pleasant to me for an olde fart!
My bonitas!

Great Steve!

Nice that you are documenting the everyday people that connect with you.

I miss being a ‘regular’.

Good portrait!

If ever you have to leave her, La Cabra on 2nd Ave probably has the best beans in this part of the town, but the last pourover I had there was $15. Their $4 brew is excellent, though, and their pastries are illegal in 36 states. (Cardiopulmonary surgeons loiter outside the entrance smoking cigarettes, waiting, like taxi drivers outside the Port Authority.)

I don't think they ship baked goods, but they do ship coffee. https://us.lacabra.com/collections/coffee
They're a Danish company.

I'm a regular at La Cabra, not for their coffee, but their bread and rolls which is terrific. Have you tried Abraco on East 7th Street. Best coffee in the East Village, and delicious pastries that don't require a bank loan. Also, on Cooper Square, Librae is extraordinary for coffee, pastries, and bread. We should meet for a brew.

mmm. LaCabra's hefty sour-dough... I haven't tried Abraco or Librae - they look good. I'll pm you to grab a cup.

I never understood the purpose of decaf until I couldn’t have caffeine anymore. Now, it at least scratches that itch
