been a feind for the creme brulee coffe from the coffee bean and tea leaf. We get that shit delivered to my job so I pocket bags of it at a time and store up like chipmunks in the winter.

I've heard folks rave on Petes Coffee but that stuff tates like muddy shit to me.

Y'all may hate on Starbucks as a corporate giant but that white chocolate soy mocha shit is $4 well spent.

I'm shaking and on my 3rd cup of the day what y'all percolatin'?

    I like Caffe Triste in North Beach, S.F. To me that's the real deal. Italian opera on the jukebox, Old italians and beatniks on the walls.







    Had my first Capp in mexico City when i was 15. Hooked was I.



    They don't call me DJ Cups for my love of jockstraps although I don't mind a good bra.

  • If it's real coffee you shouldn't have to drink three cups of it

    soulstrutters don't let soulstrutters drink starbucks.


    "cafe du monde" in new orleans. french quarter. even though it has a touristy locale, this place can make your trip. $1 for killer cafe au lait, and $2 for beignets. powdered sugar covers the floor, quick open air table service.

    "che jose" montreal. off duluth and st. denis. cheap coffee, lots of phyne girls.

    "ansa" shimokitazawa, tokyo. coffee shop/specialty recordstore. super models hang there, iced coffee is $13 a glass. glass is 5" tall. i had 3 in one sitting. welll worth it!!! also had banana waffles with chocolate black beans.

    Black, no milk er sugar.

    The spot to go for night time coffee is Stir Crazy on Melrose and La Brea. You buy one cup of coffee and they will keep filling your cup up for as long as you stay. Open till 2, and you can smoke cigarettes inside. Very cute girls behind the counter.

    Nothings touching being in Italy, drinking espressos standing up at the counter though.

    I say the strut is international - objection overruled!

    Also, this way I can promote one of my favorites - Veracruz's Gran Cafe la Parroquia:



    check out those machines! They serve you the coffee in the bottom half of a tall glass, and bow-tied waiters walk around with big pots of hot milk - if you want some, you ring your spoon on the glass, and they come fill it up. Delicious, and it has the slightest caramel flavour...

    any coffee spot that has fucking coffee right when i need it really bad is a good shop imo.

    Been meaning to check this place out. The coffee's aaight?

  • most mindblowing coffee I have had was in Krakow,Poland of all places...some place with "Afrika" in the name...

    I think the US is on the bottom of the list in getting the best beans...I mean I have never had coffee in the states as good as abroad.





    oh yeah...coffee black in the AM

    Jameson on the rocks in the PM

    cosignage on the muddier he better

    coffee in the states is about quantity. coffee anywhere else is about quality.

    this place is a block from my house, and always free. plus the girls are better looking than at ladro*

  • DubiousDubious 1,865 Posts
    well if we have to go with USA coffee (which ranks only slightly higher than the usa's beer in terms of quality) i have to go with this spot in cambridge mass we used to chill at whenever we were playing at the middle east.

    i cant remember the name.. it was a downstairs job... anyhow they had espresso shots to the maximum... including an 8 shot espresso drink (yes 8 fucking shots) called the black death.. shit was like thick and caramelly... i didnt sleep for 24 hours after that bad boy...

    Its not the kind of place where you get to choose from 15 different imported roasts, which is fine with me. If you get the never ending coffee cup, which is around 2.50 bucks, you get as much coffee as you want, and its good and strong. Ive litterally sat there and drank 8 or 9 cups of coffee for the price of one. i know a deal when i see one!

    Plus the place is dope, on some illegal speakeasy vibe. Cops come in and out all night, and pretend not to see that everyone is smoking. The cops get free coffee i think, plus they, like everyone else who comes in there, are tryign to mack on the girls who work there. Interestingly enough, these girls are often drunk on the job!


    Just dont let anyone whos on a laptop corner you into a conversation. They will talk you until your ears bleed.

  • i prefer supporting local coffee spots. but i'll go starbucks if need be. peace, stein. . .
