A new café reminiscent of one of those you'd find tucked away off a small stone street in Barecelona’s Zona Antigua, artistic, unique, relaxed, has just opened. The afro-cuban music in the background is at a volume that allows easy conversation; as a gallery, the walls are covered with vibrant art. It has recently opened in the North End, architecturally, the most European neighborhood. “Flamepoeira” serves first-rate espresso drinks, delicious Euro/Asian-flavored dishes, and wonderful desserts. Try the Spicy (but not too spicy) Lemon Grass Chicken salad and the Fried Chicken Dumpling Salad with Bamboo Shoots (each $7.95). Langelo’s Pozole soup ($5.95) is some of the best soup around. For dessert, the Jumbo Cream Puffs ($3.25) are addicting. Though the owner’s original Cafépoeira (a Vietnamese coffee with bread pudding, cranberry, and cinnamon, topped with condensed milk, whipped cream, and a sprinkle of cinnamon, $2.50) is not to be missed.
