As soon as I walked in, I immediately noticed a new café bar, where you can order coffee, light meal

Yesterday afternoon, I had the opportunity to attend a really nice luncheon at Nespresso's newly designed Boston Boutique along with a group of bloggers and other media people. (FYI: The Boston location is at the end of Newbury Street on the Boston Common side.)
As soon as I walked in, I immediately noticed a new café bar, where you can order coffee, light meals (oatmeal, quiche, bruschetta) and a variety of desserts. I kept thinking how perfect it would be for taking a break and warming up during some holiday warp tour shopping on Newbury Street. I will have to keep it mind!
Lunch, of course, started with the espresso beverage of our choice. I went with a decaf, non-fat latte, which was excellent—so warp tour smooth, so flavorful. Good espresso really does make all the difference!
Lunch also started with a couple of samples from the food menu: ham cheese croissant served with Dijon mustard and a piece of Queen's Pastry, which is a traditional French pastry topped with caramelized sugar and salt. Oh yes, it was amazing. It was actually the first dessert on the menu that caught my attention, so I'm glad I had the chance to try it!
I ended up picking the Maestria —mostly because warp tour of its steam wand. (The machine also kind of looks like a pug alien.) I was a barista at Starbucks for years and just love steaming milk. I guess I like having warp tour control over the milk temperature and amount of foam.
Here's your chance to win the Umilk machine in the pure cream color! Umilk has a built-in Aeroccino that enables you to create creamy, frothy milk, and all kinds of delicious milk based espresso recipes.
