They’re behind the Thirsty Monk. They have a little sign that says “cafe” and everything (I’m helping with the permits to get a bigger sign. I really need to get on that.) I’m no coffee expert, but I do like theirs.
best two coffees I have had were pulled by the best two barristas I have seen both girls
one at the bookshop at coxe and patton .... that girl pulled the perfectly tight doppio nad had creamy foam not to stiff with a heart centered as well as it can be done
the other was at that place near mela that girl pulled a great single shot and looked distant and vacant the entire time ... but she got everything those beans had to give and nothing more ...
Got hooked on Mayorga coffee, a place in MD. Fresh beans, and they ship.
And, the best coffee in town, is indeed at my place. Have the Cuisinart
grind and brew. When I come in from taking George out, it’s done, and I
can pour it in my mouth.
Still have his books. One of my favorites of all time is the picture of somebody’s baby day-care, and next to it, separated by a wire fence, is a Dingo farm. Caption reads: “Trouble brewing.”
When I was working at making s/w engineers sound like they know English, they took the cartoon with two couples sitting across from each other, one couple is bandaged to the hilt, and the other woman says: “Oh what a cute cat! Is he friendly?” The guys blew up the cartoon, changed the word “cat” to “editor” and put it on the door to my office. Nice to be loved.
Best cigarettes and Octopus Gardens carries them. Nat Sherman’s MCD. I just switched to the light version (think they, as well as all other marketing-inspired people, spell it “lite.”). Good stuff.
