Don't you just love those hippy-dippy artsy-fartsy coffee shops? Where else can you be served a cup of fair-trade coffee for four bucks by a girl with a nose ring and more tattoos than skin who is not hiding the fact that she is judging you for paying with a debit card instead of Native American coins, or anger, or magic. I can totally see the appeal of sitting in one of these places at 9 pm on a Friday, listening to terrible poetry about your lover's sister using your deodorant and how it's being a metaphor for American foreign oil policy. Seriously, hasn't anyone told these people about bars?
That being said The Bean Cafe (having a real website is SO mainstream) just happens to have a Pumpkin Bread that was named by some unknown magazine as one of the "Top Five Smashing Pumpkin Dishes." It is unclear what the sample size was or who was judging these dishes, because all I could see was the tiny magazine clipping that was attached to the basket that held my future delicious breakfast, but I was willing to trust it.
And smashing it was! The Pumpkin loaf is moist without feeling heavy or oily. It holds together well, making it easy to eat. It was full of cinnamon pumpkin flavor, without being overly sweet. I give this pumpkin loaf an A, but don't tell my uber-vegan, raw food eating barista.
