Cappuccino...

Although a strong cup of espresso makes my hands shake and heartbeat crazy, yet, I still love to have a cup of cappuccino in the morning. "chuk-chuk-chuk" (sounds of grounding coffee beans), "shooo---shick" (sounds of steaming milk)... the rhythmical noise from a commercial espresso machine behind the bar already makes me up-beat! One croissant and a cup of cappuccino with a pretty steamed milk art (!) on top is the perfect opening for a day.

Here are some of my favorites. Several great cappuccinos that I have...


Café Grumpy (www.cafegrumpy.com): No words needed... taste it. My best choice in NYC. Yes, all the grumpy faces will be changed to happy faces.

Stumptown Coffee Roasters (www.stumptowncoffee.com): One of my top choices in NYC along with Café Grumpy!




Ninth Street Espresso (www.ninthstreetespresso.com): Several locations in NYC... the picture was taken form Chelsea Market location.




Abraço Espresso (abraconyc.com): "CAUTION!" - really really really strong espresso from East Village, NYC. Just the smell makes my heart react!

Zibetto Espresso (www.zibettoespresso.com): One of very few good espresso bars in Downtown NYC. The picture was taken after a sip!




RBC NYC (rbcnyc.com): Another fantastic espresso bar closed to Downtown, NYC.




Baked & Wired (bakedandwired.com): The famous cup-cake place in Georgetown, Washington DC has great coffee as well. Don't miss the cappuccino!




Habatat Coffee (www.habatatcoffee.com): Located near by the gigantic shopping mall in Virginia, Tysons Corner. A cup of cappuccino before the shopping will boost your energy! ;)
