Joe Tomei with a Friday (that I forgot to post last night, whoops!) Funky places post.
I have to confess, the Starbucks across the street from my employer has turned me into a Starbucks guy, but it would be remiss of me to fail to note that there are now more coffee places in town than you can shake a stick at, and many of them are deserving of the Funky appellation. So last week, I wanted to check out a place at the end of the covered section of Kamitori called Joe’s Coffee on the assumption that given my name, I would receive the VIP treatment. However, Joe’s Coffee has been replaced Cafe Switch and it now features a barista and some quite nice sandwiches. I didn’t introduce myself as things were rather busy.
Of course, everything is Kumamoto is connected and this Cafe Switch is apparently a branch of a second Cafe Switch discussed in this article http://voyapon.com/kamitori-kumamoto-shopping-arcade/
whose facebook page is at https://www.facebook.com/%E3%82%AB%E3%83%95%E3%82%A7-%E3%82%B9%E3%82%A4%E3%83%83%E3%83%81-Cafe-switch-242233185837679/
The article notes that “they also offer their own latte art courses to the general public, for any baristas-in-training who may be interested.”
