A PICPUS
Click right to take a look around…
Looking for that spot your uncle said he would stop in everyday on his way home from work? I’d recommend adding this tobacco shop to the list of places to inspect. The woman at the counter is young with an approachable demeanor, while the large, black gauges along with her medusa and labret hint that she can handle you and whatever else you might be packing. If all that wasn’t enough, her dijon-colored hoodie, printed with the One Piece graphic of Shanks’s WANTED poster, made it clear that she’ll sell you your cigarettes, but don’t think about getting cute. A Chupa Chups tower, stacks of Kinder Bueno, even a bar top plastic display of Pringles tins are just some of what is available for munching. The magazine stand is fully stacked, and so, of course, is the wall of cigarette boxes, warning labels composing a poor pixelation. In the back is also a bar counter with some hard liquor and an impressive syrups shelf. What it really comes down to is a feeling of regularity. Two old women, short-haired bundles with bags and canes, took a seat at one of the five tables with learned ease. The four beer taps seem to court a certain customer, but—with a closer look—one of them is just “Eau” or water. It’s not dull and also opts out of the frill. Metal bistro chairs and stools fight to keep their ivory paint, while each’s camel or cocoa seat pad disputes mere convenience. It plainly pieces together, a comfort for your uncle before going home to all that your aunt had it store. harmless.

Drink: Noisette
This noisette is a 3, I guess. Really, I only score a drink with a 2 if I don’t like it. 1 is if it is undrinkable or just plane abominable in some way (think Starbucks caramel macchiato, too much disrespect). But, it gets a 2 because it is just so darn unremarkable. Can one use the term underremarkable? Like the many letters that make up that fictional term, this noisette had the equipment to be more (it was pulled off a two-group Nova Simonelli, somehow serviced by cafes Folliet 1880) and ultimately flopped. It tasted like it came out of a fully-automated machine. So, the 2 is disappointment marking down the 3. If you want a bathroom and a pack of cigarettes and are in desperate need of coffee, then sure, tack it on for a one-stop shop.
