3/4/19 Zoka Coffee |
When I’m in the mood for cafĂ© sketching, my first choice is always
Zoka Coffee in the Green Lake neighborhood. For a coffee shop, it’s huge, and large
windows on two sides bring in a lovely natural light all morning. The warm wood
interior, over-stuffed leather furniture, tables at various angles, and lots of
victims staring at their devices make for an ideal indoor sketching location.
Unfortunately, I don’t like their pastries. The scones are so hard
that they require a fork to penetrate, and the croissants leave a film on my
palate, which leads me to believe they are made with shortening instead of
butter.
Another first-world sketching problem rears its ugly head.
Too bad about the food not being good. I hope the coffee is OK. It looks like a nice place to sketch!
ReplyDeleteThe coffee's OK... but a sketcher can't live by coffee alone! ;-)
DeleteI really enjoy your blog and the things you share, both drawings and thoughts. Thanks for all you do!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much, Dave! Glad to hear you enjoy the blog.
DeleteIt's nice that you have a good coffee shop for sketching.
ReplyDeleteThings are looking up here in the South end. Just discovered a coffee shop just 3 or 4 miles away, at the bottom of my hill, that will serve me coffee the way I want it and has good breakfast items. I mean to go there more.
And there is a new Ethiopian coffee shop... very large room and good pastries.
Will look forward to seeing your sketches there!
