If you pass by the corner of 3rd and Fairfax you have probably noticed Short Order, the latest addition to The Farmer's Market at The Grove. I went there a day or two after it opened. It is a tasty, trendy, and of course expensive burger joint. (watch out for those $8 truffle fries, they'll get ya.)
What you don't see from the street is Short Cake which lies inside the market. You can immediately tell that this cafe is exactly what comes from experience and good investors. I'm a little jealous. Every detail from the menus, to the coffee cups, to the custom espresso machine were carefully thought out. Even the waiters all wear hipster denim vests.
Single Origin (SO) coffee is served at Short Cake and is the third branch of the company. As you have probably guessed, they pride themselves on coffee that is from a single origin. (Duh.) I'm not always sold on the whole "special" coffee is better thing, but there coffee is veeerrrry nice and doesn't taste like acid (*cough* Intelligentsia *cough*)
I've made Short Cake a weekly stop. The cafe is a nice addition to the market and you don't have to wander too far into the market maze to get to it. Check it out. Get some coffee, take some instagrams of your treats, and enjoy some prime people watching. Tourists are hilarious.
