How was the coffee? :-)

Good, to be honest, not a picky coffee drinker, more there for ambiance. They take their coffee very seriously though, this is what's there before you enter the seating area.

Great!

Where?

Brooklyn. You'll overhear a whole medley of foreign languages and there are cute babies and dogs.

I like the big roaster. They must filter it so the neighborhood does not smell (we've had complaints in Dallas about the roasting in certain neighborhoods - I'm particular about coffee and get my beans shipped from either Klatch in SoCal or George Howell near Boston about once per month. It makes a big difference ... to me.

Never heard of or tried those. I'm a big fan of Peet's coffee, good body and balance in their dark roast and not too acidic.

Sometimes (like now) I wish I liked coffee.

If you like to taste coffee other than heavy and dark yet good, try

I prefer the lighter roasts as they tend to be more complex - Kenyan, Ehtiopian for berries and dark fruits, lemon, grapefruit notes, etc, and then if you like milk chocolate, look at South American beans

Thanks! I may have to give some a try.

A great grinder makes a big difference, too. What makes beans even better is that they arrive, having been roasted 2-3 days before you receive them. Typically, beans are best within 7-24 days of roasting. CO2 is their enemy - so I wrap the package tight after opening and tightening the package with rubber bands to make them last longer (Have a bag of Whole Foods Rubber Bands - they only item that is free beyond a brown bag, ice, and samples).

Ahh, so this is where Starbucks employees go to hang out after hours.. Nice.  

Not a coxfert but know good coffee when I drink it. Couple of years ago I ran into someone who got their roasted beans from Tonx on the West Coast. It was a monthly subscription thing.

That's pretty much every corner in Portland and/or Seattle.

Best place for coffee? My couch in front of the TV, of course.

Something very comforting about having my coffee while driving.. almost like a tradition of sorts.

I'm a big coffee house fan.  Family owned places with WIFI that let you linker are good. I think Starbucks intentionally makes cold environments with loud music to discourage hanging around. (Yet college students adapt).
