Rebecca's Coffeehouse

Here is the view of Rebecca's Coffeehouse from the Daily Scoop. We headed over to use their, uh "facilities"....

Their counter was totally laden with all kinds of baked goods:  Muffins (some flavors included Strawberry and Banana Muffins plus Pear), as well as sweet breads, cookies, brownies, and cakes too. There were so many pretty glass domed cake stands enticing you with their contents (lemon bundt cake, chocolate cake, etc). The rest of their counter was lined with a load of Italian soda bottle flavorings...

It's pretty spacious inside. There's free wi-fi and lots of people were on their laptops here. Lots of seating as well. It reminds me of grungier Central Perk in "Friends" but without Gunther as the barista.

There's a cute mural one of of the walls which is right next to a stage. In fact, local band Afromestizo was set to perform that evening (they perform the first Saturday of every month at 7 pm). I saw one of my districtcolleagues who is one of the musicians in the band. I've seen them perform before at another colleague's retirement party and they were pretty damn awesome! Unfortunately we weren't going to be sticking around until 7 pm so we would have to watch them perform at Rebecca's another time.

Sorry, this looks ugly because it's still wrapped up, but I bought a GIGANTOR pear muffin for TC and Bert. Damn. Let's hope that it tastes good! I've had their cranberry orange scones before. One of my other colleagues loves this place for their scones and he's brought them in before for the department.

Using the same line of thought, TORC bought a slice of Lemon bundt cake for her husband. She got it in a cute takeout box...Looks delicious with that lemon glaze!

Who else has been to or blogged about Rebecca's?

Alice from Alice Q. Foodie went back in 2006 (She also mentions the newly opened Vagabond and the old M-Theory),
The blog Sustainable Evil also also went here back in 2009 and and had their tangerine chocolate chip scones (Man, that sounds good - I should have bought that instead!),
plus the reviews from yelp and a short blurb from the SD Reader.

We still wanted to check out the place next door to the Daily Scoop so crossed the street yet again...
