Town Grind - Oatmeal cookies with my au lait



Weekends start late for me as I am not a morning person . How late? I think it's safe to say that if there is nothing else going on, I'm not awake before 10 am, and the biggest accomplishment for such mornings would be readings sections the A and B of the LA Times by 12 pm . Despite the general laziness I do like to do something of value on the weekends so whenever I get a chance I walk over to the Town Grind Coffee Cafe ( I think I'll start calling it TGCC for short) order a cafe au lait, and match it with whatever home made pastry they suggest on their "today's special" dry/erase board.

Their cafe au lait is made with coffee that is consistently robust and steamed milk so smooth it provides the best cure to the coffee's edge. This past Saturday I decided against my usual splurge of banana and nutella toasted panini and introduced my au lait to their crispy yet chewy oatmeal raisin cookies. It made for a simple but very tasty breakfast.

The TGCC is a small but cozy spot in Newhall. It is open till 8:00pm most days and while it does sell some lunch and supper fare I'm mostly interested in their coffee drinks so I have yet to go there for lunch.

I didn't plan to take pictures of my breakfast so I hope that this low light, and low resolution cellphone snapshot will suffice .
