Intelligentsia Coffee & Tea – James Meléndez / James the Restaurant Guy

A nice place to visit while I wait for a table at Gjelina.  A compelling design in the breezeway  as well as the central preparatorium.  The coffee I had was a medium roast–I like a darker roast but the notes of the coffee I enjoyed shown through quite well (organic Peru).

I look at the less-than-positive or mediocre reviews and ponder why I saw or tasted or simply enjoyed the experience.  Did I not look hard enough? Do I enjoy to easily?  Or did I have a superior visit / experience?  I ask these questions because I wonder how my view was so vastly different?
I did enjoy this experience greatly, the site, design, packaging program, service delivery, method of brew (simple drip basket), the finished product and the service paraphernalia were so thoughtful.

I look forward to a repeat visit here and other Intelligentsia Coffee and Tea.

About jamesthewineguy
We all need water to survive but we need wine to nourish our soul. My favourite varietals are Malbec, Pinot Noir, Tempranillo, Shiraz... but there is only one varietal I cannot kind of enjoy and that is Pinotage. I remember my first try was... I hope this is like a Pinot... but it is like drinking a fermented green vegetable with an after taste that just lingers and lingers and... lingers. But I am not here to talk necessarily about what I do not enjoy but what I am passionate about. My current passion is Sherry - Pedro Ximenez which is one of the most amazing wines of all time. If the wine loving world new what they were missing they would start appreciating this miraculous wine. Malbecs drink like they should be double, triple of their current pricing and I am talking solely of Argentina's beloved wine. I love Pinot and I love it even more when I find one worth loving. But when you find a spectacular Pinot you wish time could stand still. And then there is Champagne. I like the bone dry style - Extra Brut. It is an amazing nectar that I like Winston Churchill...could drink everyday. ...Well he did... I am still dreaming about it. I am amazed with Madeiras, Ports, Sauternes, Tokaji and my beloved Sherry.
