espresso café

when i was tired of walking yesterday i stopped and drank a couple of beers in a café called espresso on burggasse (in the 7th district).
i really like this café. it might not be everyones cup of tea but its just the sort of place i like and i love the retro furniture and relaxed feel to the place. i felt very happy sitting with a beer reading my book watching people coming and going.
the little patio out the front is looking a bit sorry for itself now with all the furniture stacked away but its really lovely in the summer months when the sun is shining.

p.s. i'm currently reading cat's cradle by kurt vonnegut. really liking it so far.

  8. How wonderful that you made it inside! It is on my long list of places to visit. Like the look too, and as long as the coffee tastes good, what more can one wish for? I love Vonnegut, how do you like the Cat's Cradle so far?
