Coffee Shop - The Hungry Nomad

A tribute to the Chocolate Croissant at CC’s Coffee House (New Orleans, USA)

I’ve had plenty of chocolate croissants in my days ranging from villages in France to Paris, Switzerland and all over Canada, but this one has carved a special place in my…stomach. It is so tasty that I just had to write a review about it.

The croissant is flaky, tender, and crispy yet chewy. The best part is the creamy praline/chocolate mixture on the inside. And to top it off are the dark crispy chocolate sprinkles.

CC’s Community Coffee House is a local New Orleans Coffee shop started in 1995 and quickly expanded to all over Louisiana. You’ll realize why its so great once you try their chocolate croissant and coffee.

My Favorite Neighborhood Coffee Shop (Athens, Greece)

October 5, 2011 1 Comment

A few days before, sipping my coffee, I was thinking I really need to share my love for our local coffee shop with you. So here is my homage to Makriyianni 3.

I love it because they serve the best coffee by far in this area, because of its location (close to my home: essential for a neighborhood cafe. Hehe. But seriously, it’s close to the Acropolis and its metro station and so perfect for some people watching), because of their delicious home-made lemonade, sandwiches and snacks not found anywhere else in central Athens, because of their friendliness and because despite all of this goodness their prices are still more reasonable than all the touristy places next door.

So whenever you’re in the neighborhood, check it out. Good chance you’ll find us there reading our Sunday newspapers. Don’t forget to say hi!
