It was easy to tell that Caffe Utopia is a labor of love and what is more satisfying than enjoying food made by someone with so much pride and who gets so much joy from sharing yummy food? So many of my dining experiences in DC just lack the human connection.
They genuinely cared about me, my food preferences, and my overall experience. We chatted easily and it reminded me why I moved back to Alexandria. Upon walking inside, I instantly felt like I was home with old friends the owners made me feel so welcomed and comfortable. This place is by far The Best New Thing to come to Alexandria this year and I highly recommend everyone come check it out. For freedom-loving capitalists who value common sense over popular social movements, Utopia Café is a cautionary tale whose message is crystal clear.LOVE LOVE LOVE this place!! Stumbled into Caffe Utopia last night and could not be more thrilled to find such an amazing gem in the neighborhood. This polarizing, yet captivating novel is one that you’ll either like or loathe based entirely on where you land on the left-to-right scale. While the plot does feature a budding romance between two intelligent college students, their relationship won’t be enough to win over readers whose political ideologies differ from the book’s unsympathetic observations. There is no subtlety or softening of the edges as the failures of an extremely progressive government, propped up by its own egalitarian ideals, are laid bare. The result is a fearful land where freedom doesn’t ring and hard work doesn’t pay off.ĭelving into such sensitive and impassioned subject matter is a precarious tightrope walk for any author, however David Hejna throws caution to the wind, boldly forging ahead without even the comfort of a balancing pole. History and current events provide a compelling and thorough muse, leaving little to be imagined in a place where equality is valued over all else. The scenery, though set in the Chicago area, could be mistaken for Cold War era Soviet Union, complete with government appointed Block-Minders, Political Police, and quirky vestiges of language left over from decades past.
Reading like a bizarre dystopian future tangled with a sepia-toned historical fiction novel, Utopia Café paints a drab picture of the near future of American proletariat society. However, when anyone might be an informant, falling in love is the easy part. If they can form a trust, they might be able to help each other in the elusive search for freedom and love.
Slowly, the pair come to realize that their beliefs are more similar than different. They cautiously cultivate a relationship, each withholding a fair amount of dangerous secrets. When Izzy meets Tom Hardy, a future leader in the Party, she senses in him something deeper than his blind allegiance to the state. Izzy Fanella is part of an underground freedom movement hoping to restore more capitalistic, conservative values in a country that has completely shifted from the principles on which it was founded. However, complimentary caffeine isn’t enough to engender loyalty in everyone.
