Getting coffee on lazy weekends is so much more enjoyable than getting it during the harried morning rush hour on the weekdays. Yesterday, I finally (after three failures) managed to get to Abraço in the East Village during a time it was actually open. Of course I had already guzzled down a drip coffee from Kaffe 1668 by this time, so that might have been a little unfair to Abraço. It certainly isn't the most photogenic of the cafes I frequent, but it also has no space to be, with just barely enough room to stand a handful of people.
I love when menus are this simple.
I've blogged about Jack's before, but it's probably the best cafe near me and somehow, I never tire of taking pictures here. It must have something to do with the brick wall and wooden furniture. Ahh, love.
Abraço | 86 East 7th Street
Jack's Stir Brewed Coffee | 222 Front Street
Really nice. Lots of good vibes.
ReplyDeleteLovely places! I love the brick wall and wooden tables and chairs at Jack's, reminds me of my elementary school desks and chairs!

ReplyDeletei agree w you wholeheartedly - one can never get enough coffee. well, if one is over-caffeinated for the day, then decaf is an option since it's the taste that i love.
ReplyDeletei am really loving your photos - so gorgeously composed and processed!

Jack's reminds me of grade school. I'm pretty sure I sat in similar wooden chairs.

Ah, what a cute coffee shop :) Lovely pictures, I feel as though I'm actually there. Especially like the shot of the table with a newspaper and empty coffee cups and plates on :)
