| - This coffeeshop is a winner.
They have deli foods, which always have a happy line, but I've never managed to try them. I made a beeline for the back of the shop, where they probably have fifty varieties of coffee beans, and at least as many varieties of tea. Behind the coffee, in a glass-walled room, is the roaster, this enormous machine that lets them roast the beans fresh, all the time, in the store.
Behind the counter is an older guy named John Prestogeorge. When I asked him for a recommendation, he suggested the J.P. Hearty blend on their coffee list, which is a blend he started selling in the 1960's. He's still there. It's still good. Lately, I've moved to the organic sumatran, and really want to try the kona; I'm confident they'll be around for awhile, and I'll be headed back.
