Mission accomplished - I made it to Good Karma cafe! And it was even more amazing than I ever could have imagined! It's the kind of cafe where people sit for hours with their notebooks and laptops and "write novels". They have a full blackboard of winter specials, including the delightful sounding 'Cinderella' (some form of pumpkin spice latte) and 'London Fog' (a special kind of Earl Grey tea!). My first foray into their coffee was a Candycane Mocha and it was quite nice! The barista did a wonderful job of making sure it was the perfect temperature - warm enough to keep my hands warm, cool enough to drink straight away! One of my personal pet peeves is when a coffee is waaay too hot to drink straight away (looking at you, Starbucks).
I actually haven't been drinking very much coffee since I've moved to Philadelphia - which is kind of strange for me, given that I normally drink coffee every time I leave the house at home, or when on holidays! I have a feeling Good Karma is going to break me of my new habit, as I want to go back and try all their specials!
I also discovered a wonderful cafe called 'Sabrina's' on Saturday, I went for brunch with some of my friends and it was splendid. I guess the one downside is that on the weekends you could be waiting for up to an hour for a table, and when you get inside it is quite noisy! But the food is spectacular! Their brunch menu changes every 2 weeks, but at the moment it's Beyonce themed, so I tried the "Destiny Fully-Filled" French Toast, which was marvelously decadent and over the top! The serving size was big enough for at LEAST 2 hungry people!
On Sunday night I went out with the same friends to see a movie! We saw 'That Awkward Moment', which was WAY better than I thought it was going to be, but was still kinda predictable. I'm looking forward to more movie outings soon!
I hope your day is going marvellously! My next mission is to try Shake Shack for lunch tomorrow!
Love
Jess
