I tend to agree with you, for the most part.  That's why I thought
this would work a bit better as small gallery, so that it's not just
people sitting around drinking coffee.

However - this one

 is brilliant.

Why thank you!  I thought it worked well.

Thanks as well to Jeff, Chris and everyone else who commented and looked.

   Great shots again, Frank!

Of the bunch, I like mug and five_seated best.  The young lady 
sitting opposite the rest in that one looks like she may have been a

Yes indeed, Boris, I have to respond to you off-list.  It just seems
that I have no time on the computer when I'm at home (where the info
that I have to send you is) - over the past two weeks or so, I've been
on-list when I've been standing by between calls at a public library.
Hopefully I'll get that off-list missive to you tonight or tomorrow.

And thanks for the comment!

Dan, Dave, Bruce, thanks for looking and commenting.

I like the place because (a) they make very good espresso, and (b)
it's a nice quiet place to go read or just sit and sip.  Some of the
past places I've frequented (Jet Fuel, The Commons, Manic, Mercury)
seem louder and more congested.  Capital is set up so that the
ordering line-up is away from the seated customers, so that probably
helps things feel more relaxed.  It's also new, so while they seem
busy enough, it's not as busy as some of the other, more established
places.  They may yet become a victim of their own success.

It's on the south side of Queen, right near Brock or Dunn (maybe
between the two?), if you're ever in the area.

cheers,
frank

Thanks, Bob.  I'm on my way there now (it's conveniently on the way
home from work) and my day ended about an hour and a half early (very
slow week due to school holidays).  I know one of the owners, Alex,
and I think I'll direct him to my blog, see what he thinks.

Nice shots... I suppose then seeing as it is your favorite coffee house that
they are used to you snapping pictures.
