Anelace Coffe on Central, South of Lowry in MPLS

Coffee break.

Anelace reminds me of being in London.....let’s see, our daughter-in-law would be at work; our son is giving a seminar at Oxford — so if I was there, I’d be up to a little no-good, looking for a little coffee place.

Stopping at Anelace on Central Ave in Mpls is the ticket!!!

White tile, big wooden banquettes, a rustic wooden

floor.....& French-baked croissants.

No cold brew; instead, a choice of pour over coffees—hot or iced. I choose coffee with plum essence in the beans.

The barista asked if I’d like a glass of water—-sparkling or still—-are you sure I’m not in London??

Water served in adorable little Libby American-made glassware. I sold so much Libby & Anchor Hocking when I worked at elements - I can almost remember the style numbers from the shipping boxes ; )

As someone said on-line—-the ‘vibe is chill’...a totally peaceful place to take a moment & enjoy the day.
