The New Bello Mundo Cafe

The last time we went to Bello Mundo Cafe on Monterey Street, it was much smaller.  They have expanded into a new location just a couple of doors down from the old location.  We just had to check it out! The new Bello Mundo is much larger now, but offers the same delicious baked goods and coffee, milk, chocolate, espresso, and tea drinks that were served at the old location.  It is directly across from Court Street and is an ideal location for shoppers, business people, and city workers to stop in for a cup of coffee or other drink.  The clientele, in fact, ranges from students to retired folks.  The seating is varied: there are tables for two, long tables, bar type seating, comfortable easy chairs, and window seating.
It features local artists' works, a chess board all set up and ready for play, cement floors, and exposed brick.  The ambience suggests an invitation to stay and relax over a delicious cup of coffee.  The regular cup of coffee was $2.75 and was robust and strong, yet smooth.  Joan had an iced vanilla almond milk latte with homemade, yes, homemade almond milk, and homemade vanilla syrup.  The vanilla flavor really came through with the coffee behind it. It was $4.00.







 Think About It: This may seem a bit regimented, but...think about scheduling a 30 minute block of time at least once a week to have a one on one conversation with your significant other. When was the last time you just sat and talked to each other without interruption?  Try it!
