Overall Rating 7 out of 10
So this evening a few friends and myself wandered down to the Blue Smoke BBQ for Wednesday Wings, not a bad little night out. Ok, about the "3rd Degree Chilli Wings" when the owner of an establishment warns you against ordering a particular item from the menu take the owners advice.
As the evening progressed we found ourselves at the James Street Bistro enjoying some delightful warm refreshments. I had the double Latté, Miguel the Hot Choc and Rhys the single Latté (note the 'rhys teaspoon™'). As is the commonly the case our coffee talk quickly turned to architecture .
I won't bore you with the details, however the conversation concluded with the idea that a memorable coffee experience is a composite experience, one comprising primarily of the warm brewed treasure residing in your cup, but it is also affected by your surroundings and the service of the staff.
That is why this blog just got another rating category, that's right....... AMBIANCE!
Raw Polished concrete floors + funky woven cane furniture + a 4m tall wine rack made from laminated ply = a nice backdrop to shoot the breeze with some good pals.
Side note, the reason why I'm writing at 2am can be summed up in two words. 'Chilli Wings'.
