Laura's Coffee Shop

A bit of an anachronism in this age of chain coffee shops (I'm looking at you Starbucks) and high end coffee roaster bars, this little corner shop is tucked away in an area that has a mix of residential and light industry. It offers cheap bacon and eggs and bad coffee sitting in an urn burning away on a hot plate. At least that's what I imagine it offers, based on my experience in places just like this in my younger days. It was closed when I passed by yesterday.
Wonderful bw

@koalagardens If you like coffee that's been sitting in carafe burning away on a hot plate for an hour or so, then yeah.

I think you should at least test it before you denigrate the poor lady’s coffee. She might be the one exceptional small cafe that serves great coffee…or not. LOL

I would imagine it has the best food in town.

worst coffee: a cafeteria where I once worked had the usual "55 gal" coffee makers, during graveyard, the staff would put enough grounds for a full pot, and half the water. Burns a hole in the stomach.

Nice street shot.

From my experience places like this serve the best coffee.

I like this picture in black and white.

I always like the doorway on the corner of the older shops. This does indeed have a vintage look.

I think Chinese Canadian food sounds interesting and their coffee is served with a heart.

A wonderful timeless scene. I wonder if I could eat there for free? Can’t abide bad coffee though.

Perfect for b&w

I like the quaint little shop with the corner entrance--seems so typical of older neighborhoods. B&W processing is perfect.

Oh I just know the cafes you're talking about. Hopefully the coffee has improved!

That doesn't sound like the sort of coffee that I want to drink.

@ljmanning Amen. Life is too short for bad coffee.
