So as you know by now, I LOOOVE coffee. My drink of choice in the mornings is Cafe con Leche (milk and coffee). Recently my friend invited me to have coffee at a place that was not open yet! I was so excited to go! And Coffee?!!! How can I say no!I can't say no to coffee... so I said Yes to going...
I had the pleasure to have Cafe con Leche. Cafe con Leche is an awesome new Cuban cafe ON 15053 Ventura Blvd, in Sherman Oaks, CA that OPENED TODAY 2/18/2010. I was honored to meet Gabriele and His team.
He made us our morning cup of coffee. The original way you make coffee... like the stirring-and-smashing and omgoodness-yummmy-smelling kind of coffee. If you are a coffee drinker, then you defiantly know what I am talking about.
Along with the awesome coffee I had a warm, just made, flaky bread guava and cream pastry. Nothing like the "other" Cuban place, I will have to say it was better. Who else has a malta condensada?
I say go! Be in a cafe where you feel the atmosphere. Smell the food and taste great coffee.
Oh did I mention you can order online too?

ReplyDeleteI'm not a big coffee drinker. I can do fraps but not hot coffee. Although it smells so "yummy" I can't get it to taste as good as it smells. Any suggestions?
