my sweet latte
this morning i discovered the new hours at ooh la latte the hard way... they're not open until 11! augh.
i thought, well, i can go elsewhere. blue coffee, although i don't trust them to get it right. the regulator, but i don't know if they have sugar free stuff.
i thought, well, i could ask mary to get me coffee when she's on the way over. that's when i realized the real reason i was reluctant to go elsewhere... i love the place, i wanted to set foot in it. i wanted coffee boy (even though he does have a girlfriend) to be all sweet and friendly with me.
it's like when i used to go to kallisti, not just because the food was so great, but because i enjoyed having that sweet guy make a calzone just for me. there was an emotional component to it.
it kills me that these places i love often struggle and go out of business.

I was that way about Lotus in Cary. I went there because I loved that the owner recognized my friends and I and would remember what we ordered. Now it's changed owners. :(

damn... i didn't know that ooh la latte is limiting its hours! i haven't been there in a couple of weeks, but when i do go, it's always before work.
blue coffee downtown (parrish & corporation) is nice, and convenient to your commute. they have sugar free syrups, too.
