Cheap Eats 2010

By HANNA NEUSCHWANDER

The new permanent downtown location of coffee-carter Andrea Spella is nearly as small as his beloved cart. This shop is simplicity itself: an espresso machine, a counter, and you. European in attitude, it's also the only place in town that uses a lever espresso machine. This method requires the most human involvement of any espresso-making process, and it does justice to Mr. Spella's hand-roasted coffee. In addition to coffee and espresso, you'll find affogato (espresso over ice cream). It's the only high-end cafe in town that will offer you sugar with your macchiato without a hint of snobbery.
