Literati Cafe

Literati Cafe: I'm a bit stumped by the acclaim this place gets. Maybe it's the sandwiches or breakfast foods. Apparently it can be a good place to people-watch. I got a latte, ham & cheese croissant, and a 5-grain raisin scone. The clear favorite is the scone, with the raisins providing good flavor while the five grains add a subtle nutty counterpoint and some texture...the bread part itself isn't bad either. The latte is rather bitter with a weak aftertaste. It's almost like it's got tannin in it because the back of my tongue feels like it's puckering. The puff pastry has no flavor and isn't flaky.
