| - If you REALLY love coffee and are looking for the best beans that are perfectly roasted, you're in luck: here it is! I decided to give them a chance about a year ago and boy am I glad I did. I placed an order and decided to pick it up myself to see what the place looked like. It's a small place but they've squeezed in two gorgeous roasters: a small one for orders like mine and a more mongo size for the restaurant and other major orders they fill. I talked with Victor, the coffee guru there, and he spent the time to talk to me about different coffees and got me excited to try several (although I have to confess that La Minita is my absolute favorite).
What got me to write this review, though, was because of their customer service. I had sent some coffee to a friend as a gift.Then when I went to place my regular order, I accidentally indicated to ship it to the friend. Now, I'm friendly, but there's a limit! I called the shop as soon as I could, but Victor told me it had already shipped. I told him, "no problem" because it was totally my mistake, but Victor insisted on immediately roasting some more to send to me at no charge. I balked, but he insisted. The takeaway point is that you're lucky to find a place that offers a fantastic product, but when they're great people with wonderful customer service too, well, that's like finding the Lost Dutchman Mine! (Yeah, I regretted that as soon as I said it).
