Its a gourmet French deli, espresso bar, and music lounge....in downtown Youngsville! Whenever I would drive through downtown Youngsville, the sign always caught my eye and peaked my curiosity. After a few months, I decided to check it out. I walked in and was greeted by the owner's French accent. (or, at least that's what I noticed first!) He made me the macchiato of my life and secured me as a loyal customer upon my first sip!
The shop was really quiet when I came so I got to talk to him while relishing in the Platonic Form of espresso. I mentioned I would be headed to Italy in a few months which gave us an intstant connection! He told me a lot about Europe,the lifestyle there and all the fabulous places to visit.
I think he put some kind of honing device in that espresso because I found myself driving there like a brainwashed cult member a few days later for more! This time, I met the lady who works there with him. (She's American) The 3 of us talked for a while and I really enjoyed getting to know them!
A few months later, I now have an "Amber Special" upon request! They are now used to seeing me bring my computer in to edit pictures or do schoolwork and a stack of books! This is yet another way the Lord is preparing me for the hard and suffering work of engaging people and building relationships in Italy!
So, if you go, let me recommend the Le Caprese sandwich and the "Amber Special" which is a macchiato with a little extra milk. I want to go there for dessert sometime after I have worked out for at least 3 hours and order Le Nutella. (Oh yes, a nutella sandwich with sliced bananas and coconut!!)
