It's official, I am now a coffee slut. Not a whore, not a tramp, a bona fide slut and here's why: all the coffee joints in this town have had a piece of me. That being said, I have my three regulars that keep me coming back begging for more. Shine rounds off my top three starting after Royal at The Biltmore and Lux.
Royal is just too far out of my way in the morning; Lux is fine except when the lot is full and I have to park a block down on the street. So what to do? Just head about a mile down Central. You can easily miss this tiny little stand as it's down an obscure side street. But they turn out a good cup of joe and I usually don't have to wait too long.
It's a tad it higher that Royal or Lux but when I'm pressed for time and need my fix, I gotta do what I gotta do.I hope the word gets out because these guys are awesome. On the other hand I love the fact that I DON'T have to wait long if more people discover Shine I may have to find another coffee joint. In the mean time however, I will continue to enjoy.
