We had a great time at Mr. Shesha's Coffee House and will most likely go back. Very busy and a very diverse crowd. Everyone from a seven year old girl celebrating her birthday (they stopped the music, dimmed the lights, and the whole place sand Happy Birthday as they brought out a piece of cheese cake), to several large groups of college kids, to a couple good sized groups of grey haired Arab men. People playing backgammon and cards. Exotic thumping music played over pretty good speakers at just the right volume. Loud enough to mask conversations from nearby tables, but not too loud that it made it difficult for us to talk. The lights were dim enough to make it cozy, but bright enough to make ready easy.

We started with a large order of humus, Sheri had a cappuccino, and I had a Diet Pepsi. Very good humus. Some of the best we've had.

That settled my stomach and got my appetite going a little bit, so we tried The Bomb, which was Egyptian beef and melted mozzarella cheese on a round piece of bread that was very good and unusual. Flaky like a croissant, but flat, firm, and chewy like a good pita. Sheri had another cappuccino and I another Diet Pepsi.

We finished the last sips of our drinks after being there about two hours. We talked about ordering a hookah but were getting a little tired and ready to go. We made a stop at Meijer because I forgot to pick up a box of the chai I wrote about the other day.
