Cooffies

Darn. The only seat in the house is taken...by a teddy bear with a flower in its right ear and his friend, doe-eyed cookie pillow. Okay, maybe I wasn’t really looking for a place to sit. That’s not really what this drop-in cookie spot offers. The free-standing, hammock chair display is atop a little patch of black, white, and peach tiling. A wall rectangle, in the same peachy shade, centering some Cooffies neon, sits right behind it. All the cookies, filled and unfilled, light and dark, drizzled and nut-jammed (15 types, more or less) are angled towards you on opaquely gold cookie sheets. The menu is a changeable letter board mounted into a recessed wall joining the peach parade. You can’t go further...physically, but I did turn to the three blush informational boards that talk about NOS PRODUITS (our products) and go into deep detail (there’s a whole section on their sugar). It’s obvious that they—Amandine and Marine, a mother-daughter duo—are so proud of their completely French and thoughtfully sourced products. While I can’t attest to the cookies, I can attest to the air of the space. Turning back to the teddy bear, it’s abundantly clear that someone cares. And then it hit me, isn’t every nursery christened by a first teddy bear from a mother, sister, aunt, or best friend? That’s the air: soft and expectant with supportive women standing near.

Drink: Cappuccino

It came off the Delonghi, and it smelled really good. I had hope for it. But, there’s a small problem: it tastes thin. I kept trying to put my finger on why. I have a few suspicions. The milk could be loaded into the Delonghi powdered—this would explain the severe lack of body and structure (it was like water). I’m convinced that the beans loaded into the machine are good, they just might not be right for the machine (the second suspicion). My third theory is possibly that the grind was too coarse for espresso. Regardless, it was drinkable; it just wasn’t all that rich or flavorful. I had a cookie on me (one from a batch that my mom had sent from the US that she baked for me), and somehow it overwhelmed this cappuccino completely.
