Copper Cafe at the Madonna Inn
For our 30th SLO Coffee Crawl blog we went to the Madonna Inn coffee shop. We wanted to go there before Christmas to enjoy the amazing Christmas decorations that the Inn is famous for, but life got in the way. So here we are, celebrating the New Year, instead. We sat in one of the spacious, yet intimate booths decorated with murals, carved wood, and a copper topped table. Sheila's regular black Apffel's brand coffee, which was $2.95, was rich and smooth. Refills are free. Sometimes restaurant coffee can be bitter, but this was surprisingly delicious. Joan had a caramel latte which was $4.75. She declared it one of the best lattes she's had on our many coffee outings. (No sweetener needed!) We suggest that you pair your coffee drink with one of their delicious Danish pastries. Joan chose one to "take home to her husband, John." We'll see if it makes it all the way there! At the Madonna Inn, it's all about the ambience, from the cobblestone walkways to the stained glass windows, to the lavish decor, your eye never gets tired of discovering interesting things to look at.

What a fun outing!
ReplyDeleteI used to stop at Madonna Inn on my way home from school around 6:00 or so when my boys were working the dinner shift. They would make me a latte to go. I miss seeing them when I go there now. I don't miss the late nights at school however.
ReplyDeleteI had Thanksgiving "dinner" at Copper Cafe last year. On the way out, I got a mocha for the road. I was very disappointed. It tasted like it was made from a powder, like what you get out of those gas station machines (at twice the price). Sure looked to me like they had an espresso machine behind the counter? Maybe it was too busy to make a proper espresso drink. Either way, it was a disappointment.
