Blue Bottle Coffee Co.

Picture-11

Heading away from the East Coast meant leaving behind my favorite coffee roaster - Berkshire coffee - but thanks to some fellow coffee freaks, I was able to tap in to Blue Bottle as soon as I got to SF.
I love the flavor and the location at Jessie has a really good vibe.

Chocolate Graffiti

The chocolate bar on 8th avenue is having a lot of fun with the real estate of the bar.

Check out the rest of their collection but I loved this graffiti effort especially as it's directly linked to its location in New York and because it's linked to a good cause.

Stumped

I'm a coffee freak for a number of reasons. First, I only drink one coffee a day. Secondly, I'm real particular about coffee roasting. Finally, I can talk about the shape of the coffee taste like it's a sound wave simply because that's the experience I get when drinking a good coffee.

So imagine how I felt when Joe's coffee decided to change its supplier of coffee from my favorite roaster Barrington Coffee to some Eco something coffee. Joe's immediately repositions itself as yet another coffee shop that delivers coffee flavor that can be best described as flat in its character and for me in its sound wave.

Fortunately, a new coffee store has opened at 29th street and Broadway at the Ace Hotel.

Stumptown coffee is a Portland based Roaster and has outlets in Seattle as well. New York is a new venture for them and it seems to be working well.

Their Cappuccino is perfect (as described by the NWTimes) and you have to try their pastry called The Conversation, which has a butterscotch topping made from butter and scotch - really.
