Trabant Coffee and Chai was a little hard for me to find today, you would think it would be easy since it is located right off 45th, but I was distracted by the comic book store sign that catches you eye and drove right past the shop. Trabant uses a coffee I have never heard of before, 49th Parallel, from British Columbia. There were 2 baristas working, the cashier was friendly and the one on the bar was not very social, but did know how to make drinks. I ordered a 12-oz vanilla americano which was a little week. The coffee was good and latte art comes on top of any drink which requires steamed milk. They offer pastries but I did not see any other food options available. No drip coffee is available but they do offer clover press coffee, which I have had before and is good. The shop has an upstairs loft area as well as a large seating area down stairs, however there are no couches or comfy chairs to relax in, just tables in chairs, which makes it a good places to go and study or use your computer for an afternoon. The music was fairly quite so I would recommend this place for a nice quite afternoon cup of Joe. They have free Internet and 49th Parallel coffee to purchase. One other thing I liked is that the decaf coffee from their roaster is Swiss Water Process which you can read more about at the link provided below. Over all I would give this shop 3 beans for an average cup of coffee and a nice quite atmosphere.
