Coffee, crème brûlée, and a croissant - oh my!

So after we spent the better part of an hour on our photoshoot, Angeli and I decided that we definitely needed a break. Okay fine, mainly it was Angeli that needed a break since she definitely had the hard part: she had to leap around when her feet were already sore from dance practice that morning (although the girl has mad hops; I told her that she should definitely consider going out for college basketball) while I basically pushed a button and told her what to do. Anyways, we headed over to Cocola Bakery, an adorable little cafe in Santana Row.

I had a croissant.

Angeli had crème brûlée. With mysterious bits of orange in it that she didn't approve of.

I took this photo standing inside Cocola next to the window while shooting the scene outside. If you look closely, you can see the reflection of baked goods, me taking the photo, a lady standing outside, and Left Bank restaurant across the way. Rather a lot going on in one photo. But kind of neat!

We both had lattes.

Yum!

Cocola is an inviting little cafe. I love how in each of these photos, there's a sort of glow and warm light: it definitely sums up the overall ambiance. The only downside? It's nearly impossible to find seating inside. But we managed to snag a table!
