Coffee Shop #9: The Elmwood Cafe
This one did not at all live up to my expectations. The Elmwood Cafe looks super cute with its yellow awnings and open windows. Alas, it’s more of a breakfast place and only has a few overpriced beverage options. Their only iced tea was a red tea that they had refrigerated and then asked if I wanted with ice. Er, yes. I don’t think they would be cool with anyone putting in hours of coffees-shopping here, but that’s understandable if they want to be a breakfast place first and coffee shop second. I do think they need to get some other tea in there for those of us not lovin the red stuff.
From our sidewalk seating we did get to witness a couple (probably not from the area) call the police about a bum who had passed out between on the corner with his head in the gutter. They got a little jump when he was startled out of his nap. We’re not in Davis anymore friends.
