The Nest Craft

Julia picked out a lovely coffee joint for us to try this morning since I did not get any coffee yesterday.

It’s a nice little spot close to the galleria kind of hidden behind building buildings that are on Alpha. Which means you don’t get a lot of of the traffic noise, which is nice. There’s plenty of patio space to sit outside, definitely dog friendly.

It’s a cute spot I like the look and feel of it. I thought it was new but it’s been open a couple of years.

There was a huge mixup in our coffees so I still didn’t get a coffee let me just say that. They do have decaf options, though something went wrong today.

Our waiter Peter was nice and very, very quiet and very very shy. And wasn’t actually a very good waiter. When I ask one of the experienced waitresses that knew what she was doing if she could take over for him, she talked to the manager and that could not happen, but she did inform us that today was his first day. That changed my whole perception of him. He was totally overwhelmed. What looked like being a slacker and bad at what you’re doing was about being new at something. The thing is it was the experience waitress that told us. It was his first day otherwise we would’ve never known and probably never gone back to that coffee shop again. So as Ted Lasso would say “be curious and not judgmental.”

So we spoke to Peter and told him he needed to tell people today was his first day and they would give him grace. It’s funny after all that had transpired. I wasn’t upset. I didn’t get my coffee after all. I told him I’d come back again just to see him.

Just FYI, the food was good. We had the smoked salmon bruschetta, and the craft deviled eggs. The deviled eggs were my favorite part, but I did try the salmon. Just a little too fishy for me in the morning. They were very stylish with their plating, which was lovely though as Julia pointed out she didn’t really want to have to assemble her food.

We’ve decided we go back and try brunch. Keep you posted.Read more
