Last weekend Mimi and I took a saturday over to the bay area. Fishermans warf ... glorious fresh fish! About three weeks ago I had seen a local news cast talking about a coffee roasting company that was selling coffee out of a garage, and people have driven all the way across the bay area to get a cup of coffee! Whoa! This better be good coffee.

I dialed in the address to the Blue Bottle Coffee Kiosk into my navigation system and off we went (full of fish and chips). Sure enough, the coffee kiosk was hidden in a one way alley in San Fransisco. AND, there was a line! A line for a sweet fresh cup of joe. And it kept growing ... not a two or three person line, but a strong 10 person average of a line!

Mimi ordered the cappuccino and I ordered the latte. Now, my coffee experience started with Starbucks, then moved to a love for Peet's Coffee over the years. The Blue Bottle Coffee company did not disappoint my veteran taste buds!! The coffee was pure, tasty, and soooo smooth. I'm half tempted drive over right now (I'm in Sacramento). Luckily, Blue Bottle Coffee offers online orders of half pound bags of beans.

In addition to our espresso drinks, we also walked away with a pound of "Giant Steps" blend. It's been very good brewed. Again, very pure and smooth. I highly recommend the Blue Bottle Coffee if your in the area.
