Yesterday when I was in Rome, NY I enjoyed coffee and a scone at the most delightful cafe, Superofficial on West Dominick Street, right next to the Capitol Theatre. It is actually Superofficial and the Copper Easel Art Gallery, so I enjoyed art and atmosphere as well.
I especially liked the guy shooting the red stuff in the shed, but it does not show up here very well.
I did not want to eat too much, so as not to spoil my lunch, but after much debate I had to try the scone with Rosemary, figs, and goat cheese. It looked more substantial than what I had in mind, but it just sounded so different. I also had a cup of regular coffee.
You can’t really read the menu, but that’s OK. I understand it changes weekly.
The scone did not disappoint. The coffee was good, too. While I ate, I looked around at the art on the walls, all of which was by local artists. Then I laughed out loud, because I saw a skeleton sitting on the counter. I love skeletons!
It looks like he’s laughing out loud too!
There were several other customers, most of them looking rather artistic themselves. Some were working on computers. I wondered what creative endeavors they were working on. I myself worked on a letter to a friend, which I believe my friend will appreciate.
Cool logo.
I felt I was in a very artsy spot, and wished there was such a spot in Herkimer (where I live). Maybe somebody will open one. In the meantime, I will try to feel creative in the coffee spots I live near, and make sure I stop by Superofficial when I am in Rome.
Superofficial and The Copper Easel are located at 216 W. Dominick St., Rome, NY. You can find them both on Facebook.
