Short Orders (A Taste of Art Coffee Bar & Deli)
Coffee Break
On
sunny days the light streams into the large windows of A Taste of Art
Coffee Bar & Deli (4701 W. Lisbon Ave.). Standard offerings of
coffee drinks and fruit smoothies get a boost from a menu that strives
for originality and great deals. Among the latter is a Tuesday
all-you-can-eat combo of spaghetti, garlic bread and salad for less
than $7 and a free lunch special (!) every Thursday from noon to 1 p.m.
On a recent visit, the jerk chicken was a large pile of expertly spiced
white meat (the size perhaps compensating for the long wait?)
complemented by succulent stewed cabbage. Free Wi-Fi is an incentive
for students and professionals wanting to grab a quick meal, and some
of the wall space is devoted to original work by local artists. A Taste
of Art, open since February, still has a few kinks to work out, but is
a welcome presence in the neighborhood.
