remedy cafe with maggie and kai.

blue bottle coffee

i received a subscription to blue bottle coffee, as a gift. i get a pound of coffee beans at the beginning of every month. it is fun to see what beans i will be getting that month, and of course it is fun to get something in the mail, that isn't just bills/junk.

ps: i blog about coffee so often that i decided to added a "coffee" category, it is over there in the right side-bar.

coffee

Maggie and I had a coffee date a few weekends ago. Like always it was good to see her and catch up. (You can see her photos here)

Sadly, I found out that the cafe near my house where we met is closing. It was my favorite cafe. I would go most weekends and enjoy coffee on the sidewalk with carlton and a book, or knitting; or sometimes I would just stop in for a coffee to-go and then head to farmer's market. Business was good, but I the owner wanted to move to a new town. He really had the best coffee in the neighborhood, now I am going to have to find a new spot. boo.

bicycle coffee

i noticed bicycle coffee showed up at grand lake farmers market a couple of weeks ago. they brew organic fair trade coffee, all from a cart on the front of a bike. which is pretty much awesome. this is a cool video that tells more about the company. in addition to this cool coffee-shop bike, they roast the beans locally and deliver coffee to offices, and business by bike.
