The Dimond Cafe
more than just a good cup of coffee

I spent the morning working at the Dimond Cafe this morning on Fruitvale, just below MacArthur next to WAMU. Great place. Good coffee. Nice free Wi-Fi connection (the only one in the Dimond) and great looking baked goods. I'd have eaten this baked on the premises cinnamon roll - but my pants already barely fit.

The crowd was a cool mix of the Dimond community - 3 bloggers (besides myself), older ladies talking about a Senior Traveling Cruise, the neighborhood UPS guy and young professionals on work breaks.
I'll be back.

Tomorrow night - Wed., April 23rd they're hosting a reception for local artist Rita Skylar and her Diversity in Dimond Park Painting Exhibit.

Dimond Cafe has totally reinvented itself, hasn't it? It is the coolest hang out now. I went to Rita's Reception at Cafe Diem. She is a wonderful artist.
