I will of course get the cruller on the side

I finally had the chance to check out Oddly Correct this week.

I am going to admit from the get-go that I went with a teensy weensy bit of concern and a small bag of sugar in my purse.   Yep.   At this place they believe that coffee should be enjoyed for the pure unadulterated flavor of a straight-up cup of Joe.   I am a cream and sugar girl.  I also believe in being prepared.

This place has a good vibe and the baristas are skilled AND friendly.  I decided to go with a cappucino and Joan got a latte.  We sipped and went "mmmmmm".  Joan said "do you taste molasses?"  I said "I taste GOOD".  It went back and forth like that for a few minutes as we let the silky smooth concoctions roll around in our mouths. 

Maybe it was the use of the whole milk.  Perhaps it was the perfect temperature.  It could also have been the correct ratio of espresso to foam.   Whatever.   I can admit to the possibility that in this world there exists a cappucino so perfect that it does not need sugar ... because I have now tasted it. 

In the midst of all our rhapsodizing this woman walked in and sat down for a pour over and a cruller.  It was all I could do not to stand up and yell BRAVO at her sense of style.   

I'm going back soon to try the pour over myself.  I will of course get the cruller on the side.  If I can't look like Lyndsey I can certainly follow her lead on the menu.

Wow, is she rocking that 50's schoolteacher vibe or what? Look at that handbag! I bet she has a compact and hankie in there with her cellphone. I just want to kiss her for the memories she brings back. What a beautiful girl. Sigh...where did all the ladylike things go when the jeans, jogging shoes and hoodies crashed the party and refused to leave?

Scuse my ignorance but what is a pour over and what is a cruller. Sounds weird but wonderful.

I was wondering the same as Chrissy, not sure what these drinks are. I've not seen those on the menu in England. xx

OK - so a pour over is a slow method of drip coffee each cup poured slowly, one at a time and takes about 3-4 minutes to brew. A cruller is a fried pastry, kind of like a doughnut but more crispy and with a nice glaze on it. Doesn't that sound like a good combination?

Sounds great indeed Carol, thanks for explaining!

I don't even drink coffee, but I love Oddly Correct's website (will have to visit, as the shop looks so cool). Lindsey and the baristas are adorable. :)
