For Bridget’s birthday, we walked from her apartment to Cafe Miaafe… just a few treacherous blocks. It was dark and we almost had a casualty 
The atmosphere was awesome! We sat outside in a tent with the curtains drawn back. Inside, there is an art studio and gallery, but we didn’t have a chance to check it out. Maybe next time. The setting was so pretty with their tiny little lights, but it was cold.
B’s birthday cake was ok. The frosting reminded me of Cool Whip. Blah! I didn’t even finish my slice. More sugar, please!
Blended Green Tea Latte ($4.95) - What was I thinking?!?! Apparently, I was on crack! Like I mentioned, it was cold and I ordered an ice cold drink! In my defense though, I don’t usually order lattes, so for whatever reason… I thought blended = in a blender, but I didn’t think they meant blending ice… it was still pretty tasty. (Starbucks has a similar version.)
They brought out some pretty funky treats, which we didn’t order, but were willing to try. Aimee thought that there was a pate in-between the cheese and cracker, but sadly, it was peanut butter! It was one of the gnarliest things I’ve ever tasted! Each little “treat” was different… topped with pineapple, mango, bananas, strawberries, olives, meat, and other assorted oddities!
We had fun though!!! The staff was very nice. (I think they’re Korean. They also have another location in Venice Beach.) They gave B a bday card and they didn’t even mind us talking about Halloween parties with Gary Coleman, pierced male body parts, and bitch slaps… you just had to be there!!!

I read about your visit to the Cafe Miaafe and how awesome you found the outdoor seating atmosphere. Also that maybe next time you would check out the inside. I hope that that “maybe” becomes a reality because this art school, gallery and cafe are housed in such a gorgeous modern chateau-style building. I am a photographer, and I happen to have my “Paris Undisclosed” exhibit there–I can tell you that it is an artist’s dream to have my work exhibited in such a beautiful place.
