Tierra Mia

Tierra Mia is a new coffeehouse in the elegant Spanish style. Not only is it a great space, but the barristas  educate you about the coffee which they sell, and how to drink it! (Better without cream) My favorite is the Colombina, it's very flavorful, and I agree absolutely, no cream needed!
Here is my noon-time sketch.

The new Tierra Mía Coffee is located at the corner of Broadway and 20th Street in the former Magnin Building. It's a perfect corner to sketch and have a good cup of their specialty coffee drinks.
