Bellatazza

Nice little cafe with good coffee and so-so Empanadas. The Empanadas were a little doughy and soft for our taste. They throw them in the microwave before giving them to you. We ordered the cream cheese and jalapeño and the Chili carnitas which was very meaty and much better. The sigh board outside was speaking truth so we had to come in.

The location was great and had a very welcoming atmosphere. The staff fit right in. Stuart (sp?) was the best! He made the greatest "bone dry" cappuccino I've had in a very long time. Most coffee shops these days don't even know what dry is let alone "bone dry". The presentation of the coffee was unparalleled. A wood board with the cappuccino, stirring spoon, what I believe was Perrier, and a wedge of Toblerone (my favorite chocolate) perfectly arranged on it. He also made us a personalized "family" blend of coffee (Kenyan and Costa Rican 50/50) -- ground for a French press -- based on my wife's preferences for food and wine. We can't wait to try it tomorrow morning. Excellent experience. Literally could not have been better.
