Todd, at Border's Books, Music and Café
4235 N. Oracle Road
STAFF PICK: You wouldn't expect a corporate, profit-driven
café with 50 names to have someone like Todd around. "Everything
begins with love," he croons while serving up a hazelnut
latte topped by sensuously smooth froth. Patrons bring him sketches,
flowers, even marriage proposals to show their appreciation for
his barrista skills and silky love-speak. Todd puts the smooth
back in smoothie, the groove back in groovy. Ask for a double-shot
the next time you see him.
