Cheesecake is good

I'm growing increasingly fond of Ava's Roasteria in Beaverton, where I am in fact writing from at this very moment. It's a sweet little coffee shop combined with a study mecca (I'm pretending to study right now, in fact) with all the amenities -- wifi, caffeine, food, and the cleanest bathroom ever (bar none!)

They have some insane pastries. I'm a huge fan of the German Cheesecake, even if it is covered in chocolate (I never got the chocolate gene). It's really creamy and rich, and even if $4.25 seems like a lot for a little individual-sized cake, I think it's a good price for what you're getting. As for drinks, I am not a coffee drinker, and Ava's definitely delivers on that count. I'm a sucker for Italian sodas, and I have two favorites here: lime with coconut (sing with me now!) and, one Better Half discovered, watermelon with cream. Mmm.
