Seven Grams Espresso Bar

By Annabelle Goodman –

Imagine getting excited about a coffee shop. I was taking my (98 yrs young) aunt out for a little stroll. We walked by this coffee shop and I suggested we stop in for a café.  It is a relatively new shop on the Avenue Davenport strip. I couldn’t imagine this place being a hustle of activity.

It is such a charming spot. There are now tables outside. The fist level has several comfortable lounge chairs. The downstairs has more tables and chairs. Go up several steps and you are at the upper level with the food preparation and many more tables.

The art work is striking. It is creative and adds a whimsical touch to the charming place. It is the kind of coffee house where  you want to lounge around and sip a good cup of java while indulging in a special sweet. Congratulations to Heran Choi, the director, for being so creative and smart to open this tasty little venue.

The coffee was extraordinary. I had a Cappuccino that was superb. My aunt thought her Coffee was very special. All the available drinks are posted on a blackboard. The Lemonade Tea seemed to be a specialty on this day.

We shared a Cranberry Biscotti. Most of the sweets are prepared on the premises. There was a variety of Cookies, Pastries and Squares. They all looked so inviting.

I was especially attracted to the Sandwiches prepared on multigrain bread. Several of the clients were indulging and it all looked so delicious. Bagels are also available.

This may be a coffee shop but it is extra special and worth a little stroll. It is just north of Whole Foods and across the road from those very special flower shops. Make it an excursion. I plan to go back and sample one of those sandwiches. Just thinking about that cappuccino makes me want to go right now.

Who would have thought that a coffee house would thrive at this location? Just watch the continual stream of clients coming and going. This is a little gem.
