cognoscenti coffee @ hotel normandie.

one of the hardest things about monday mornings is that proof bakery is closed, so i can't get my coffee fix. i mean, there are other places i could go, but nowhere is good enough to be really worth the inconvenience. except! the coffee people at proof, aka yeekai of cognoscenti, are doing a pop up in the lobby of hotel normandie in ktown right now (which you can see is undergoing lots of renovations right now), so we decided to get up extra early, so that we could get our monday morning cognescenti coffee fix.

it was totally worth it!

the building itself is pretty cool, and you can tell when inside how nice it used to be. turns out it has quite a history, too.
