Only once has an employee seemed like he wanted to go home, but you can't always catch everyone on their best day. Yesterday around 2pm were the nicest employees yet. I actually enjoy their espresso and also enjoy the fact that they tamp it themselves. I have been to a few places lately where pressing a button is the only means of making their espresso and it makes me cringe to know I paid $3-4 for a latte after that. There seem to be some employees at The Archive who actually take pride in what they do. I like the atmosphere as well; it's cozy. Everyone has different opinions on places and that's the beauty of being able to write a review. Well, I'm off to the Archive.. I have been to the Archive a few times and have liked every experience.

]]> Comment on Brooklyn in the West Village by Glover http://cafehop.com/2007/05/11/brooklyn-in-the-west-village/#comment-67 Glover Sun, 18 Nov 2007 13:01:06 +0000 http://cafehop.com/2007/05/11/brooklyn-in-the-west-village/#comment-67 Great find! Grounded is a great place to hang and they make a mean latte. Also, the milk is locally produced and organic and their coffee is fair trade. Great find!

There's an apartment in the back of the building which I think at one time was actually part of the storefront. My sisters lived on the second floor too. I also lived at 18 Wyckoff (right through high school). And now I hear there is a restaurant there called Northeast Kingdom serving $17 pork chops! Things have changed in Bushwick.

Basically they forgot to make 3/4 of what I ordered and when I did get my items they were either poor or given to me with no care whatsoever. It really depends on who you get I think...I have never found anyone there to be very friendly but the sort of hip-hop looking guy (I know thats a lame description....buzzed hair...plain t-shirt with "urban gear" logo,etc) that i got last week was extremely unpleasant. Again, the owners are nice but the staff can be a real downer, which sucks because it's exactly the kind off place that I would love to support.

I think this must be some Jewish thing. While the chocolate cake was not the best, it is quite nutty to say that it tasted like *ham*. I think this must be some Jewish thing.
