Went to Giant Coffee on Friday morning before work, because I was out of coffee at home. Ordered a large iced coffee, but none of the tasty baked goods, because they only take cash, and I only had $5. It was the most flavorful iced coffee I've ever had. I don't take any cream, sugar, or flavoring in my coffee. I like my coffee like my men...dark and bitter! The flavor of the coffee was complex and delicious. And I remarked to a friend at work, at 5:30 p.m., that I still felt "highly caffeinated."
I was STILL out of coffee on Sunday morning, because I hadn't been able to get to get to the place where I buy my beans yet. So, I went to Giant (after stopping by a downtown credit union for ATM cash) to try breakfast. I got the oven baked eggs with proscuitto. The place was busy, and the meal was good. I thought it a tad on the pricy side (over 12 for meal and coffee), but the service was excellent. There seems to be parking space in the back, so my parking concerns are alleviated. And it looks like the front of the shop might be able to open up completely when the weather cools, which would be amazing. I am upgrading Giant Coffee to 5 stars.
