Snapshot: Wauwatosa Ramblin'

Image_00011 Image_00027Tonight's ramblings began at Le Reve, where I took advantage of the relative peace and quiet of a Friday evening to reacquaint myself with the Pan Bagnat ($8.50) and this here cappuccino ($3). (Note to POS system programmer: "Pan Bagnat" looks better next to "$8.50" than "Tuna Sand"!)  I've noticed that the side salad portion has been trimmed a bit; it was fun to come here in this place's first weeks and experience some extra helpings!  The capp was a killer, hiding some seriously strong espresso under an igloo of dense foam.  The espresso had a different, though not at all disagreeable, taste to it and took quite a while to be served (my food actually came up first), so I wonder if there was some improvisation.  Whatever the case, the results were very good, definitely well suited to power walking, writing or. . .who knows where my ramblings will take me?

Image_00030We continue at Alterra on W. North Ave. (and Swan Blvd.), where I'd never been before.  This is, for sure, its newest and calmest location.  The business in their last hour (they close at 9) is a slow trickle.  Not much atmosphere here outside (though I love Tosa) and I'm feeding some mosquitoes, so time to move on.
