Sometimes it's really irritating moving to a new city, especially if it offers less than stellar brew in the morning. I love love love coffee of all sorts. Lattes, cappuccinos, espressos, and teas. When a particular independent coffee shop goes the full monty and takes great pride in their product it will only be a matter of time before the customers buzz in.
