Thanks Dean......ok, i'm embarassed to admit that Joe's is only blocks away from my house and I haven't been there yet. and I love a great burger. great To Do this Sat....
I've been to Intelligentsia 3 times and haven't liked it yet. I'm a daily quad shot Iced Americano drinker and their stuff is just too light for me. I have had Blue Bottle in the Ferry Terminal and it was pretty good. I heard the Cafe is better since they have a more elaborate system there. I need to try that next time. For beans, I order from Caffe D'Arte in Seattle. Awesome stuff.
For years, it as been a couple shots of Lavazza's Qualita Rossa each morning that get me going. Low acidity, great chocolate smell and taste.
