Izitolo zikaMichael Thomas zindawo enhle yokuba nekhobe efanelekileyo yekhofi kwaye uphumule. I-Portland neSeattle zinokuqwalaselwa njengeedolophu zekhofi, kodwa i-Albuquerque ihlala yodwa kulolu hlobo. (Abanye bacinga noAlbuquerque njengePortland yezantsi-ntshona). Umthandayo wasekhaya uMichael Thomas inxalenye yoluhlu olukhulayo lweevenkile zekhofi .
Indawo kaMike Thomas Coffee
Oko kwaqala njengoshishino olumninzi lwekhofi ngo-2002 laba yintengiso encinci yekhofi.
Kule minyaka, ivenkile yabo yekhofi yakha umthengi ohlala rhoqo kwindawo elincinane kwi-Carlisle yasezantsi ngaphakathi kwinqanaba elibizwa ngokuba nguMthombo.
Ngoku abalandeli bakaMichael Thomas banomnye indawo ukuze banandiphe indebe yejoe. Owesibini uMichael Thomas isitolo savulelwa eNob Hill ehlobo ka-2014 kwindawo enkulu kufuphi ne-UNM. Indawo entsha inika ikhofi ekwabiweyo kunye neokofi njengento yokuthenga yasekuqaleni. Njengentengiso yasekuqaleni, nabo banomnikelo omncinci wokukhawuleza ukuluma ukuba badle, ukubandakanya i-pastries kunye ne-burritos engaphambili, kodwa ivenkile yaseBryn Mawr ifumana isanti kunye nokubetha ngokukhawuleza kwi-restaurant yaseHartford Square ngasempumalanga . Iminikelo yokutya kwasekuseni iquka ukutya kwasekuseni okwenziwa kwangaphambili (kuze kube yilapho ihlala), imivalo ye-granola, kunye nokupheka okubhaka njengeemigqabhule ye-cinnamon. Izibophelelo zeetyala zibandakanya ama-quiches, donuts, scones, cupcake, kunye nezinye izinto.
Ivenkile entsha kwiSiliva yeNtsalane eNtabeni yeNobho , kumgca okhulayo oqala eCarlisle uze uphele eGrard.
Iintengiso ngeSiliva zixuba olukhethekileyo lweefronta, kwaye phakathi kuka-Amherst kunye noBryn Mawr ngokukodwa badibanisa kwindawo yokuhlala kodwa nabo banokukwazi ukuma kunye nemifanekiso ebonakalayo eneembala neyehlukeneyo. Indawo iya kugqiba i-corridor exakekileyo kunye neCentral apho kuthengwa nokutya kukumkani, kodwa ngenxa yokuba umtsalane uhamba, ukuhambela ezi ndawo kuvakalelwa, kakuhle, okhethekileyo.
Le ndawo isondele kwiindawo ezinjengeLan Montanita Coop, i-Il Vicino kunye neKelly's Brewpub, kodwa ikhuni.
Phakathi kwesiqhelo seSiliva, ngaphandle kwekona yeSiliva kunye noBryn Mawr apho uza kufumana okwesibini uMichael Thomas indawo. UMichael Thomas ungomnye we-Albuquerque encinci ye-coffee rocks, kwaye indawo entsha idibanisa imikhosi yamandulo kunye nomtsha ukuba loo ndawo ibonisa ngokufanelekileyo. Ngaphambi kokuvula, abanikazi bahlaziye isakhiwo baze bafake umnyango omkhulu wecala lokugada egalazi elingavulwa ngaphandle ngaphandle kweentsuku ezifudumeleyo. Nangona ivenkile ephambi kweBryn Mawr, kusenokwenzeka ukuba ungene kumnyango wecala kwiSiliva ngokungena egcekeni lepati.
Ibhola leBryn Mawr lide kwaye liluxinxe, kodwa umnyango wecala elicacileyo kunye neendawo ezivulekile zigcina ukuvakalelwa kwemvakalelo. Kwesinye isiphelo sakhiwo, kukho indawo yokuhlala yepatiyo ngaphandle kunye neetafile. Ngaphakathi, iifayile ezikhanyayo ngeglasi yeglasi kwaye zibonakalisa kwi-wood floor ukuze zenze i-atmospheric homey-isakhiwo sasekhaya.
Ikhefu likaCarlisle lincinci kwaye licolile. Bobabini banikela i-wifi yamahhala, ezisa abo bafika emsebenzini nokufunda. Ngaphandle kwendawo yokuhlala kunye neefestile kwiindawo zombini zilungele abantu abalindi.
Kwaye ke, zombini iindawo zinikeza ikhofi enkulu kunye neyeyi, ngeziphuzo ezivela kwikomityi ephezulu kwi-espresso engcono.
UMichael Thomas usalidla ikhofi kwaye uyayithengisa ngepondo. Ukuthengisa ama-coffees ngokugqithiseleyo kubandakanya i-Duke's Runner's Bland, iBanda Bear Blend, kunye neyona eyaziwayo, i-Hornet Roast.
