Full City is truly great coffee. Thank you Michael Phinney for faithfully rising early every morning to roast some of Eugene’s finest coffee for us!

Milone Brothers Coffee Co – Menu with Prices – 1413 Lone Palm Ave, Modesto

The best coffee in Modesto. One of only two coffee roasters in Modesto City proper, Milone has been roasting superior coffee for almost 30 years (since the late 80’s). It all began as Plantation Coffee Company, a roastery & full service cafe. They closed the cafe part of the business long ago, & today operate as wholesale distributors. Where can you sample some Milone coffee? Several local businesses carry them…Sabatino’s, Michael’s Pizza, Papapavlo’s, Velvet Creamery, & Picasso’s, just to name a few. I was particularly impressed to learn that the coffee I had at Sabatino’s, which I loved, was just one end of a surprisingly broad & prolific spectrum. From Brazilian roast to Fogburner, there’s a roast for every palate. And after sampling just 2 of their roasts, it was easy to surmise that any coffee lover will find a Milone roast that he or she loves. Not a business owner? No problem. You can come in & purchase beans by the pound. But remember that this isn’t a full service cafe. I had the pleasure of meeting Scott during my most recent visit. Scott knows everything about coffee. He’s basically a walking & talking coffee encyclopedia. He is also beyond personable. A gem. This is the best coffee in Modesto. 5 stars.

The Urban Cup – Menu with Prices – 2225 E Grand River Ave, Lansing

I read an article about this coffee shop in one of the local papers…maybe City Pulse? I was suprised by the claim made regarding dark roast coffee. They say they dont offer dark roast out of respect for the bean and the roaster. They find that a large percentage of people are looking for the full, robust flavor of a dark roast, but not the bitter aspect. As an avid dark roast drinker, I wanted to try this place out to expand my coffee experience and test this theory. I walked in with an open mind and walked out with the most bitter cup of coffee I possibly have ever tasted. I’m not sure what happened. The urban cup left a very bitter taste in my mouth, I only took a few sips and threw it in the trash. Not impressed, not swayed by their claim. If you are going to make such bold statements, back them up please.

Coast Roast Coffee – Menu with Prices – 801 Magazine St, New Orleans

Coast Roast Coffee is located in the Auction House Market, and serves custom espresso drinks (both hot and iced) and drip coffee. This business is fast and efficient, and employs very pleasant baristas. I popped by on my way to a morning meeting, and was very pleased with my experience, until I tasted my coffee. This coffee had more body than Arnold Schwarzenegger in his hey-day. It basically leapt out of the cup, punched me in the face, and scampered off across the street to beat up an old lady. I’m all about strong coffee; I need that extra kick in the pants to get me going in the morning as much as the next girl, but Coast Roast has me beat. Almost literally.

Palace Coffee Company Menu with Prices 817 S Polk St #2, Amarillo

This roast is pretty good, gosh, I think I can even taste the honeycomb tasting notes. You can serve lite to medium roast all you want but don’t suggest I like coffee that tastes like an ashtray because I prefer dark roast. The coffee taste is ok but overall it is weak like a blonde roast. Ruta Maya in Austin makes great coffee. Their medium roast I don’t prefer but many people do. I get that the coffee perfectionists don’t want to burn the bean but you don’t have to argue the point. As purists, we at Palace Coffee prefer that you drink the coffee that we feel you should like best. And what you will like best is weak with hints of huckleberry.

Dart Coffee Co – Menu with Prices – 121 E Yanonali St, Santa Barbara

I adore good coffee but I’m also a sucker for adorable decor. This place really delivered on the ambience with it’s plethora of sweet pink lanterns so I’ll give it a high score based on a fresh look. Also there was a squad insta-ing their cappuccinos that looked equally attractive and fun. Before I personally go ordering “mixed drinks” at coffee shops I like to get a baseline. Is the basic coffee great? The ‘El Milagro’ from Guatemala was unfortunately not my taste. Others mIght like a medium roast at 7:00am but I was really hoping for a traditional light roast. I like a really soft smooth but fully light roast especially early in the day. Maybe next time I’ll try the Ethiopia Hambela which is a light medium if they are brewing it.

Thomas Hammer Coffee Roasters – Menu with Prices – 122 N Wall St, Spokane

I absolutely love tomas hammer. Their premade combos for coffee are excellent. It was the first coffee I had in Spokane and still a favorite. This town has so many amazing coffee shops. It is hard to say what is the best, but for me their espresso roast it a medium to mild roast that is as smooth as it gets. If your a dark roast fan you can’t beat Atticus. I however think this place is exactly what coffee should be.

Orazure Hand Roasted Coffee Shop – Menu with Prices – 20311 Champion Forest Dr, Spring

This quaint coffee shop tucked away in the Grand Parkway HEB has hands down the best coffee I’ve had in the area. It’s a family owned business. Michael, the owner, is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to coffee. He gave me a crash course on a Sunday afternoon. He taught me how to properly make coffee at home, which has changed my mornings. I highly recommend purchasing his family roasted coffee beans, so you may experience amazing coffee at home. Michael has created some pretty interesting concoctions. One is the Michael Palmer, it’s a beverage with coffee and lemonade. The shop also has several Game of Thrones themed beverages. I do enjoy the fact that the lattes are made with homemade syrups. It really enhances the flavor. Bonus: Traci, his spouse, makes delicious baked goods. If you are in/near the HEB, I highly recommend you drop by and experience an amazing cup of Joe served with love.

9th Street Coffee – Tea – Olive Oils – Spices & Salts – Menu with Prices – 814 S 9th St 1st Floor, Philadelphia

I am so glad to have stumbled across this gem of South Philly. I saw the sign for free coffee, because they have two brews to sample every day. The owner is extremes knowledgeable about coffee. You can tell he’s a real community-driven guy trying to offer his passion and expertise to Philly. (I love these kinds of people, and if you are into tea check out Melange at pine and 11th for the tea version of this guy) They have an excellent assortment of gourmet beans, and I believe he said they roast them all in the back of the shop. The prices are better than Whole Foods and the coffee is better in my opinion. My first coffee is the Brazillian with a full city roast. I usually need milk and sugar with my coffee, but this one is excellent even without the sugar! They also offer a choice in what kind of bag you keep your coffee in. The best is the one with the airlock contraption that lets out excess gas, which I haven’t seen anywhere else. He told me if there was any problem, to come back and he’ll “make it right.” Not an empty promise, but a testament to his confidence in his beans. And I’ll definitely be scooping out every last ground. So glad this place exists. New life goal: try all their coffee.

Sweetwater Organic Coffee Co – Menu with Prices – 1331 S Main St, Gainesville

Great coffee! Really 4.5 stars as it is not the very best I’ve ever had, but it is quite good. Sometimes there is a bias toward liking local products simply because they are local. While I do try to give the local guys a shot, I am not particularly sentimental where my wallet is concerned, so for me to come back, a business must deliver local or not. Sweetwater Organic Coffee does indeed. I’ve been buying Sweetwater’s Ethiopian/Nicaraguan blend lately, and I think it is fantastic. I’ve also enjoyed drinking their morning blend within the last month. Their full city roast has all the kick of fuller roasts, something I think a lot of smaller roasters sacrifice in favor trying to maintain the subtleties of their coffees. However, Sweetwater does an excellent job of maintaining a pleasant roundness and complexity while having just enough char to keep things interesting. It’s nice to buy local not just because it’s local but because it also happens to be pretty damned fantastic.

Rising Roll – Menu with Prices – 1605 Jefferson Park Ave, Charlottesville

I mostly go to Rising Roll for it’s convenient location, and for its meal exchange option on the UVA Dining plan. Rising Roll is affordable and comfortable, the atmosphere is laid back and the staff are very friendly. Between classes, the line can get outrageously long, but the staff stays friendly and moves as quickly as they can. Caribou Coffee is served here, it is decent coffee and you can pour it yourself. Though I haven’t tried most of the sandwich and soup options, I am a big fan of the pastries (especially the cinnamon roll, which they will heat up for you upon request), and the smoothies. Rising Roll’s location inside of UVA’s New Cabell Hall makes it very convenient for students, but not for other customers. Overall, it is a great place for students due to it’s location and affordability (accepts meal exchange and plus dollars through UVA Dining). Meal Exchange as of Spring ’17 Breakfast Meal Exchange: One pastry and one regular beverage or one regular oatmeal and one regular beverage Lunch Meal Exchange (after 10:30): Pastry and beverage, Original Veggie Sandwich and chips and beverage, Chicken salad wrap and beverage and chips

Stumptown Coffee Roasters – Menu with Prices – 4525 SE Division St, Portland

Every time I’m in Portland I always find myself needing to get some coffee from Stumptown Coffee Roasters, so it was a pleasant surprise to find one in the SE neighborhood, near where my friend and I were having brunch. We went to get coffee after brunch and the place on a late morning on a Sunday was packed. A lot of people were standing around the front area, despite the limited amount of seating here. They do roast beans here, so much of the space is for making coffee, which I don’t hate. I ordered the summer special, a Pina Colada Cold Brew, which was awesome. It had flavors of pineapple and coconut, as you’d expect, with some cane sugar for sweetness. The cold brew was also smooth, which is how all cold brews should be; I hate when it gets acidic, especially towards the bottom of the cup. But such was not the case here. Overall, this is a good location to pick up some coffee on the go, or even a pastry or breakfast sandwich, which they offer here. Yet, if you’re planning to work here, get here early for a seat, as the space isn’t large for lounging around. But you’re here for the coffee, which is always solid.

Cafe Bonjour – Menu with Prices – 10094 Westminster Ave, Garden Grove

Ah, Cafe Bonjour. I remember coming here before I was even allowed to drink coffee, well if you count the time I was in Vietnam w/o my parents and I drank iced coffee every morning for my whole time there. Hehe.. Well my parents made a special trip here every other Sunday to stock up on coffee, and their pate for my mom. We usually went here after we went to Mi La Cay (the noodle house in the same strip mall). This place has been a long time staple too in our household. I remember when we moved to Albuquerque, and everytime we went to CA, my parents would stock up on as much coffee as they could. Now that they’re back in CA, it’s all good.Now that I am older and wise enough to appreciate a good roast, I too cannot live w/o them. I love their house roast, Bon Jour, the Vanilla is good, and so is the Cognac roast.They carry a wide variety of blends and flavors. Now that I live in Seattle, I have my parents send me coffee. Trust me, I have not found anything out here that is adequate enough for my Ca phe sua da, I don’t even know if they have places like this out here. Well it’s ok because my parents send it to me. Like Cecile says, you can buy them whole beans or have them grind it. Which is what we do, since my coffee grinder doesn’t do as good for our Vietnamese filters. It is sold by the pound. Prices have gone up over the years. It was 4.99 a lb back in the day, now between $6-8, worth every penny and drop!
