| - In a world of chain coffee houses, I always like to check out a local joint. I found this place through a friend. He warned me the owner was a bit of an eccentric and could be a pretty down right rude. So I stopped by one night. The place was empty, the man standing behind the counter was fixing a piece of equipment. So I stood there and read the menu. Three minutes later I was still standing there. We'd made eye contact twice, so he knew I was there. A battle of wills came about, I think he was hoping I'd leave, but I stood my ground. He was going to wait on me.
Finally he turned around and asked what I would like to drink, I choose a cup of brewed coffee, the boldest blend he had.
"Oh, I have to make fresh, should be 5 minutes." No problem, I've waited this long already, he shot me a pretty dirty look with that zing! This guy was downright unfriendly and rude.
I got my coffee and took a sip, not bad, bold without being bitter. I forget the brand of coffee he uses, doesn't matter because I'm not coming back.
