I had the same snobby attitude towards Pullman as I did many years ago when I was a student at University of San Diego. "This place" I thought, "is no city!" Many years ago when Starbucks wasn't an overcommercialized, retail coffee chain, I use to brag to my friends in college about the cool coffee places in Seattle. I was talking about places like B&O Espresso and the Starbucks in the market.
These days, Starbucks is never my first choice, unless I am in a rush, need one of their overpriced snacks or don't have a choice. I prefer the cafes that don't feel like McDonalds. B&O Espresso however, I still love, these days mostly for their desserts...YUMMY!

Anyway, Cafe Moro has that real cafe feel, toasty smell of coffee and a random selection of sweets, that aren't really the focus. The barista WAS a real barista, not a button pusher, you know what I mean? The layout was a little wierd and divided, but I loved it. I think it's great that Cafe Moro was able to take a chopped up space and make it a great place for conversation, reading, people watching, or just sitting. It reminded me of the days when I lived in Lower Haight in San Francisco.
I can't wait fo the next visit to Pullman.
