So far all you probably know is that sometimes Puccino's gets so cold that I turn blue and have to go outside, but I must say I have not done them justice. Puccino's is actually my favorite coffee hang out. As far as I can tell, Puccino's is a cafe inspired by the beauty and convenience of the Italian bar. They offer all types of lattes, cappuccinos, coffees with liquor, Italian sodas, and an awesome granita. They also have some pretty tasty pastries as well as extremely delicious paninis and sandwitches. The breakfast is beyond good for a cafe, and the egg puccino (their big, savory breakfast sandwich) is buy one get one free during the week. They do offer internet, but you must buy five dollars worth of products and then pay one dollar for every two hours of internet. This place is definitely not cheap, but every location is always clean as a whistle and the products are consistently good. There are witty sayings and quotes on random spaces of the walls, and the decor is a mixture of Italian inspired coffee art, old French advertisements, and slightly humorous statues. It usually draws a crowd of older, slightly more upper-middle-class individuals, students, and "the regulars". Over-all the goers are pretty diverse. I've met and re-met some of the coolest people I know there, and for that Puccino's will always have a special place in my heart. I even met my boyfriend for the first time there last year =). Bottom line, Puccino's is a great place to bring a date, a bunch of friends, or the family. It has the elegance of a brunch focused restaurant, with the poise and easiness of a regular coffee shop. I would recommend it to anyone who likes being able to have a glass of wine or shot of limoncello in a classy environment...or just a cup of coffee in a relaxed but upscale environment.
