the pattern of coffee & people

after a sharktank marathon last night, dekel & i woke up early to head to houndstooth coffee, a quaint corner coffeeshop off henderson avenue, recommendation by my friend harley. the place was so my style and i loved the uniqueness of everything. you walk in and are greeted by handsome baristos behind a beautiful chrome, mirrored espresso bar. after placing your order, we went with lattes (me: almond latte with vanilla, dek: original) you get to watch a beautiful creation of latte art and then enjoy the natural-lighted space with your caffeinated beverage of choice. 

another point to make is you can even choose which espresso you would like in your shots! check out their daily offerings board below, but after choosing which espresso you would like you can see the barista stuffing your chosen grounds into the filter, yielding a special "brewed for you" feeling. 

starbucks needs to step up their game. 


 the pattern of coffee and people is what they are all about
 pretty teal barstools fill the room
 chocolate croissant & latte art 

 cute detail revealed when you finish your last sip
cool, tucked away room in the cafe & their sleeves at the condiment bar
 daily offerings board; we enjoyed timepiece in our lattes
 fancy
 houndstooth, one of my favorite patterns & now one of my favorite coffee shops!
milk & honey, a boutique next door i have been dying to check out but they don't open until noon on sunday, so i'll just have to come back...  ;)
 booties from hallelu that i bought four years ago! you know you made a great purchase when you wear them often & still love them just the same.


thanks for reading & have a great week!
