That's what I would have said too. I remember in early December of 1995, I was walking around downtown Portland, Oregon, and it was very cold outside. I was walking by a coffee shop and I could smell that wonderful aroma of good coffee. I had heard about Espresso, Cappuccino and all of those coffee drinks, but I never tried them, so I decided to go in and order something that contained the name Espresso. About 10 minutes after I got done drinking that cup, I was so wired, I was about ready to scale the side of the 45-story US Bank Tower, which is the tallest building in downtown Portland!
We patronize our local coffee shop frequently as they get to know their patrons, the food is good & home made, the service is great, plus it's famous around here for the local residents to gather and chat.
I've been a mom and pop restaurant guy for many moons now. Love that coffee in the morning! I walk in (or waddle in), and the gals know what I want right off the get go. Java-the big yums! I call it 20/50 racing oil.
Nothing beats a small town ma-pa coffee shop. The atmosphere, the great coffee, the friends everyone knows everyone. But sadly we dont have one here, that I know of. Theyve all been taken over by Starbucks.
You guys are too funny...I'm not a coffee person but hubby is so we actually go to the local Corona Cigar Bar which has great coffee....so my husband says.....wait!! Why does he keep the mug close to him so the waitress has to lean over to refill it???......I think I need to go ask him this question.....brb.

I go out of my way to avoid Starbuck. I try to support local, mom and pop shops much as possible.
I have discovered this little family owned cafe- Paris Coffee Shop. I like it because they serve really hot coffee. I mean the coffee stays hot while u finish eating your home style breakfast.
