Profile: Cafe Tropical
By Ryan - Wednesday July 13th 2005
Sure you might think it is an easy write-up but you would be wrong. The fact of the matter is that Cafe Tropical basically wins everything:
- Best Place to look at posters of El Che
- Best Place to buy a $2.25 ‘almond cigar’ consisting of a giant rolled almond dong-shaped thing, cream-filled
- Best Gigantic $1 peanut-butter cooookies
- Best Place to wish you were in the mood for fresh carrot juice
- Best Coffee In The City Of Los Angeles Hands Down – Espresso con leche
- Best Midnight Sandwich
- Best bacon egg cheese croissant
- Best place to meet up with fellow 12-steppers
- Best place to meet up with your alcoholic buddies who want to do shots next door at the silverlake lounge
- Best place to look at ‘shorty‘ – the hydrant on the corner
- Best place to tell dates to meet you early in the morning
- Best place to dump people, mid-afternoon
- Best place to gaze at silverlake blvd below you
- Best place to gaze at sunset blvd gently curving into the eastern horizon
- Best place to apparently have missed a show by matt sharp that weezer guy
- Best place to hate and abhor the skim-skin that appears on the surface of your espresso con leche, which is incidentally the best cup of coffee in the city of los angeles hands down
- Best place to buy a full guava creamcheese pie for a dinner party and have it sliced into eighths
- Best place to buy a gigantic chocolate napoleon that you have no intention of eating
- Best place to hope Dennis Farina walks in at any second, talking loudly and gesticulating
- Best place to hope Dennis Franz walks in at any second so you can pawn your chocolate napoleon, which you had no intention of eating, onto him
- Best excuse to actually be seen inside a purple stucco facade, anywhere
Aw hell I love the Cafe Tropical.
