787 is a stone’s throw from a Starbucks under renovation.
Peek or peer hard to the end of the block. I felt very lucky at this happenstance.
Folks at most Starbucks that I have visited have been very nice.
The 80th and Second Ave is no exception; recently, when I dramatically took a spill upon entrance, they were especially nice. Their coffee is another matter, although I have found the flat whites to be quite good.
That said, I know I admire 787’s variety of caffeine. Today, I also got some super royal treatment with my drink and blueberry bread.
The barista escorted me up the stairs, carrying my coffee. Offered similar assistance down into their cool work space. When I opted for staying outdoors, but for the wet, he ran in for a towel.
So here I sit, enjoying sidewalk café seating. My cup runneth over if I may coin or purloin a phrase.
Walk with Me, Too
