Southside Espresso (Next to Uchi)

I have been meaning to and looking forward to trying Southside Espresso.  Are they related to Uchi?  I don't know, forgot to ask.  I really liked the interior, it's cute, airy, lots of light.  They made my cappaccino with soy and this cute design, love it!  I do have a few complaints, they put too much milk and not enough foam.  There was no equal, but I had to use Stevia, which I have never used and wasn't sure how much to use.  I was looking for cinnamon and they didn't have that out either.  The barista had to look for it and pulled out a large ziplock bag with a lot of cinnmon and handed me some on a spoon, which was very nice and accommodating of her.  But, do I have to do the same thing everytime I want cinnamon?  I thought that was surprising to see a coffeeshop not have cinnamon on the condiments bar.  Anyways, I still liked it, the atmosphere is nice and quiet, staff cool.

Antidote

My goodness, Antidote gets a good crowd during the day!  Great place to work remotely or study...if you can ignore the funky music.  Their Cappaccinos are super duper strong and their Chocolate Hazelnut scone, not so good.

Black Hole (Museum District)

My latest find! Discovered on a chance incident on our way to dinner by taking a wrong turn. Feels totally like a word of mouth place, but come to find out it's a sister of Antidote, opened only 6 months. I'd be impressed if someone brought me here. If you like Antidote, you'll appreciate Black Hole. Similar food, atmosphere, bigger, casual, buried cafe. Love it here!
