El Taller

I can't find any fault, except the long wait sometimes cuz there's so many people there. Atmosphere is so cool and chill, food is different and delicious, and the staff is so friendly. Nobody rushes anybody which is refreshing in this day and age. And it's a lot larger than it looks from outside. Try it loved it.

A little gem in downtown Lawrence on Essex Street. A restaurant, coffee shop, bookstore, small stage, and art gallery, on the 1st floor. A 2nd floor function room/performance and gallery space all in one.

Delicious, what I would call Mexican Fusion dishes are the main courses, with a large selection of unique appetizers. Sodas, coffee, shakes, and wine and beer are the beverages.

There's always friendly service, and it's a great place to meet and greet. The tables are covered with brown paper and you're encouraged to write and draw on the surface. There's board games to play, talent shows, poetry readings, gaming tournaments, pop-up shops, short lectures and discussions, and alternative bands. This is the place to be. Please check it out.

Love the atmosphere, one-of-a-kind without being pretentious (so hard to find in a coffee shop these days!) Great lattes! Plus their space upstairs is gorgeous for events.

Goodness all the way. I am in town for a job, but this place feels home-like. The coffee and food were delicious. I brought my computer, plugged it in, looked through some books. I may actually go back today and treat myself before I will leave the town :)
