Café Noir//קפה נואר: Coffee For Your Classy, Romantic Side
If the term "film noir" conjures old Hollywood black and white crime flicks, with a certain je ne sais quoi of mystery and sexiness that pulls you in for more, the European bistro Café Noir in Tel Aviv, has been justly named.

Nelly Kitchen: Organic, Relaxing Haven
Today, I was in Old Jaffa, Israel after stopping at the amazing Shoplifters: Aesthetic Chaos fashion & design shopping space, and passed by a little garden patio with tables and chairs, framed by vines and greenery. I said, “look how cute!” as I looked in on the people sipping coffee and talking. My boyfriend immediately put the car in reverse and we parked behind what we later discovered is Nelly Kitchen.

Folklore Coffee & Co.: Musings from Hershey
Ah, Pennsylvania, USA, the lovely location for chocolate, happiness and sunshine. It’s not just the dairy state, people, it has “Chocolate Town,” USA! I was in Chocolate Town a few weeks back for business, and knew immediately that there would be some amazing desserts to try. Not just desserts, but the chocolate specifically, and also the coffee. With big cows moo-ing all around the PA pastures, I figured the cafe-au-lait would be a delicious choice; PA is known for its milk. I love my coffee with milk, as you can tell from past reviews.

Kaldi’s Coffee Bar: Fresh Perspectives

It just had a lovely energy. The baristas were extremely welcoming and friendly.

Sidamo Coffee & Tea: Aladdin & Jasmine’s Favorite Place
Sidamo Coffee & Tea, located in NoMa, is one of those elusive, cool places that you don’t really find on the “beaten path.” Grab your magic carpet and go there, though. It’s worth it. Marked with a large red tea kettle pouring down over the doorway, Sidamo Coffee & Tea’s sign is definitely eye-catching. The tea kettle isn’t like Mrs. Potts’ round body from Beauty and The Beast, but rather more skinny and Middle Eastern, a la Aladdin. I bet if someone rubbed on it and made a…

Ebenezers Coffeehouse: A Great Nook To Study In
A few weeks ago, my lovely roommate asked me: “Hey, what’s the best local coffee shop to study in?” She absolutely had me stumped… This was a new way to look at #timecupsoul… Given my perfectionism, I set out to find the truth for her. No later than 11 am, and quite by accident, I found my way into Ebenezers Coffee House, and it was the answer. The mecca of a great study-friendly coffee shop. How do I know this? There were patrons studying in it. Also, personal choice;…
