Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
I went to
graduate school in Philadelphia, and lived only a few blocks from the famed La
Colombe Torrefaction. I was a student, it was far too hip for me - but I did stop in once or twice for a croissant
and what Food & Wine Magazine calls their "silky cappuccino," naming the caffeinated hotspot the
top U.S. coffee "bar."
So coffee is served at bars, not shops, now? The magazine also picks Ritual Coffee Roasters in San Francisco, Ninth Street Espresso in the East Village, New York; Aloha Island in Beverly Hills and Ruta Maya in Austin. Naturally I think they're ignoring some legendary spots here in Portland (hello, aren't we coffeeville?), like Stumptown Coffee and Ristretto Roasters.
As I've only quaffed java at one of their top five spots, though, I can hardly be a judge. What do you all think: are they missing anyplace else that's truly paradise in a French Press?
