I love finding local alternatives to Starbucks, and Summit Coffee ranks as one of the best!
The ambience is fantastic, and I love hanging out listening to the music on weekend evenings. There is free wi-fi (the reception can be spotty if you sit upstairs) and outdoor seating.
Not only is the coffee fantastic; it is also sustainably grown. I like a strong cup of joe, and theirs certainly meets my expectations. I can't speak to all of the blends, but I know the dark roast (our usual order) is shade grown and organic. They sell beans as well, so you can bring the goodness home with you!
The Chai lattes are delicious, and in addition to coffee they have beer, sandwiches, and pastries. They also can make French Press coffee on request, which is sooo good!
