G.S.T. Bean

This adorable and tastefully decorated neighborhood coffee shop is right near my office and has never disappointed.
When I first went here it was still warm enough to sit outside and we sat in comfy chairs while the waitress brought us hot milky coffee with big chunks of sugar on the side.
The next time, I met a friend here and ordered a hot chocolate. They provided me with a mug of hot milk and a stick with a cube of dark chocolate on the end. You stir the milk with the chocolate stick and presto, hot chocolate. I was skeptical at first, but man if that wasn’t the richest, most delicious hot chocolate ever. Accompanied by a big chocolate cookie, it was heaven on a cold rainy day. The man behind the counter was really nice and understood when my friend had to run around the corner to an ATM. He even brought us a free piece of delicious cake to try! My friend had a pita sandwich which also looked delicious, so I resolved to come back for lunch one day.
When I did so, I had turkey and veggies stuffed in a pita and a big bowl of homemade potato soup. It was delicious!
Unfortunately it’s a bit beyond my budget to come here too often, or I’d be here every other day.
I heartily recommend this place for a quick lunch or coffee date.
