I was traveling via "the people's limo" (a.k.a. the bus) the other day when I noticed the most- well- bizarre thing. We were stopped at a light and I was staring out the window when I saw it-- a
Lamarzocco Lever-pull machine set up in front of a paper-covered window (site of future cafe?) with 2 burr grinders, a drip set up, retail coffee (by a fairly well-known local roaster) and 3 lawn chairs. Oh yeah, and a salt-and-pepper-hair smiling
barista. On the sidewalk. No one walking by...
Almost made me want to get off at the next stop and check it out. I mean really, is this a new phenomenon? Was it to promote a future cafe site? To promote the local roaster? In your face-guerrilla-style-cafe bringing awareness of coffee culture to the masses?
I just don't know, but I've been by a few times since then and haven't seen the set up....
