the pursuit of favorites: hooked on colfax

march 17, 2011

after my last coffee experience, i was excited to try another place. i looked up a few places on the neighborhood guides and settled on a place called hooked on colfax. i thought it had an interesting name and i knew it was near lovely confections that we had already tried. i knew i had chosen the right place right after we sat down with our coffee. it is a smaller coffee house that is very narrow, but there is also a downstairs that has many couches. there is a window filled garage door as the wall along the sidewalk that they open when the weather is nice. there was a door at the back that i think went to a porch area, but i didnt go out there so i am not quite sure what it was. and the coffee was served in real mugs! they also serve beer and wine! oh, the joys in life! and there was local art on the walls! there were so many great things about this place. it was relaxing, not squished with tons of people, and had local advertisements on cork strips. one that i found was for a culinary bike tour and sounds absolutely amazing! you meet at a coffee house and then ride your bike around the city and stop at different locations to learn about buying and cooking food! i will participate one day and i cant wait!

love.
