Dozens of people photograph latte art at Barismo’s new Dwelltime cafe on Broadway in Cambridge.
Barismo will soon open its large, beautiful new cafe on Broadway across from the Longfellow School. On Thursday night, Ja 19, Jamie van Schyndel and his Barismo mob hosted a happy crowd of baristas, in a latte art Steel Cage Death Match. The event proceeded like the NCAA basketball tournament, albeit with fewer scandals. The winner was Chuck Hale from Render, a new cafe in Boston’s South End. Render is at 563 Columbus Avenue near Mass. Ave. Chuck Hale previously worked at Pavement and The Thinking Cup on Tremont St. He practiced a lot. Pete Cannon hosted the event with enough authority to replace Bob Gamere on Candlepins for Cash, which must soon be revived.
