This morning I got a cappuccino at Balzac's, in downtown Kitchener, toward the beginning of my walk to work.

This, in and of itself, is probably not worth a post, given that I think "what I had for breakfast" is not really a one-post wonder. 

But there was this cute moment where both the patron next to me and I wanted to get lids for our drinks, and we both couldn't find them. 

"Where are the lids?"

"They're in that tub."

"It's empty."

"No, they're there."

"No, it's empty."  *pause*  "Oh!  They're dark-coloured, and in the shadows.  I'm really sorry."

"That's okay.  I probably should top them up.  And I make a rule not to expect much of people before they have had their coffee."

"That's very generous of you."

It was also a good cappuccino.

I love the name of the place.
