It's a Bird, It's a Plane!

Oh no, wait. That is a bird. It's an owl.

Today I decided to revisit  James Coffee Co. in Little Italy, San Diego. And boy, I'm glad I did. 

 There have been many improvements since this last time I swung by. I give this place a 5 out of 5 total points. Here's why.

Atmosphere: +1
A quick peek inside and you notice small shops selling their own goods. Sunglasses to your left. Clothes and other miscellaneous things to your right. Hm. Kind of resembles the OC Mix. Take a few more steps inside and you revel at the large, spacious open interior. The random pockets of light shining through the roof. Ambiance definitely got me in awe.

Guest service: +2
In the very center is a quaint kiosk with their espresso menu and a (limited) selection of baked goods. Behind the counters are very attentive and amiable baristas. She smiled, asked me how my day was going, and listened to me until I finished speaking. That is HUGE for me. It's surprising how lacking places are nowadays with grade A guest service. 

Coffee: +1

Though I normally drink plain lattes, I've had both their Viennese (espresso, steamed milk, honey and cinnamon) and their Dulce (espresso, steamed milk, condensed milk, and nutmeg.) Both of which are delicious, down to the last sip.

Experience: +1
What really wins me over with this particular coffee shop is the size portions for their drinks. They offer a 5 oz, an 8 oz, or a 12 oz.  I'm not one to finish my drinks and sometimes a 12 oz.-er is just too much. I love the option for smaller drinks, ensuring I can start and finish my drink hot! I thoroughly enjoyed myself here in James Coffee Co. I already can't wait to go back. 

Thanks for reading, guys.
