The Espresso Yourself Music Cafe TastCasting event.

The Columbus Tastecaster crew were hosted by The Owner Eric Ahlteen.  Eric, a musician first, has created a venue for musicians to perform.  It is obvious that this is his first mission.  From there he surounded the stage with a coffee house.  He added the finial touch with local art which is on display and for sale.  This is all housed in a old church in the downtown area of Powell. 

Upon entering, you see a hand writen sign.  You know you are in for an adventure.  You are then drawn to a case of hand make potery.
You turn around and are struck by the beauty of the old espresso machine.

         

As you enter the performance area, you notice a very warm a comfortable space invitting you to sit down and enjoy the music, food, drink, and friends.  You might select a sofa to sit on with a Fender gutar head table to sit your drink on.

  

The Fair

All foods at espresso yourself are made with fresh organic ingredients. They serve a full line of coffee and tea drinks as well as fantastic smoothies made with real fruit.  I tried a double espresso.  Rich flavor with good crema. The panini sandwiches would be just the thing for a quick lunch.
