The rumors of Sweetheart Coffee's demise have been greatly exaggerated. Miracles do happen, and I'm happy to say I was wrong. Sweetheart has returned, looking and tasting just like it did before the big renovation:

You post these "hipster" pieces to taunt me, don't you? Do you know how much effort it takes to not brain one of these people?
Good God, I cannot wait until a great wave of street shankings thins out this herd of douchebags.
Perhaps one Ray Ban-wearing youth sums it up best when asked if he's a hipster: "No, I'm from Manhattan. I think hipsters are usually just from the Lower East Side..."

He must have been misquoted. Nobody can be that stupid.
At least I hope not.
