To bring SXSW to an end, this last Austin coffee post for a while ends with the crucial Cuveé Coffee located on the East side of the city. Cuveé is most well-known nationally for their Black and Blue Cold Brew which is typically canned or on tap. Within the coffee community, their shop is known…

Seventh Flag Coffee -Austin, TX
On a sunny day in Austin, which happens pretty often, there are a variety of coffee shops where one can enjoy quality espresso drink outside with some friends, but Seventh Flag is the only option that makes you feel like you are a part of a social gathering. While there are inevitably students doing work…
Event: CoffeeChamps in Austin, TX
While we eagerly await the next stage in U.S. Coffee Competition, I decided to write a brief review of my experience of CoffeeChamps in Austin. Really, CoffeeChamps provided coffee enthusiasts the chance to completely geek out, and professionals to share their work: whether they were competing, presenting at a booth, or brewing up some coffee to share….
Coffee of the Month
A few weeks ago I finally tried my first Ruby Roasters coffee, the Burundi Nkonge, which has to be one of the best coffees I have tried so far in 2017. When I first opened the bag, the scent I got was more nutty, so I was not expecting much complex flavor in my cup. Once…
Barcelona Brews – Onna Coffee
Onna Coffee is a small shop located on a side street and Gràcia. Despite it being a bit difficult to find, it is definitely worth the effort. Right upon entering the shop, the friendly baristas greet you and start chatting with you about your day. This hospitality is most likely the reason why I noticed…
Coffee of the Month – Department of Brewology
Due to my brief hiatus from the blog, I will be featuring two coffees for this month’s Coffee of the Month. Both of these coffees are from roasters who have partnered with the Department of Brewology to create boxed sets which include coffee paraphernalia, brewing guides, and detailed descriptions of the coffee’s origins. What impressed…
Tamper Cafe – Medford, MA
Tamper is a Tufts University hangout located right next to campus. This coffee shop has a full food menu and also serves beer and wine. While I am sure once it is later in the day it gets a bit louder, this cafe was really quiet when I went with my friend on a summer…
Coffee Cafe Roasters – Greenwich, CT
Coffee Cafe Roasters (known as CFCF for short) was the most crowded business in central Greenwich at 10 AM on a Monday morning. Most people were gathering with friends and although some people were doing work, it seemed very noisy to be able to get anything done. While researching places to go for coffee in…
Coffee of the Month
Austin-roasted Flat Track coffee from San Ignacio, Peru is full of dynamic flavor that is making me dread running out of these beans. It really has been quite a year for Peruvian coffee, which is not an origin that has typically been known for top tier arabica beans . This past year, some of the most flavorful…
Sweet Donkey – Richmond, VA
Sweet Donkey is one of the cutest coffee shops I have ever been to. The cafe was located in a house with a yard that provided outdoor seating and games. Inside classy jazz music played and there were multiple rooms to sit in, each with a homey and quiet vibe. There was also additional seating…
Mylo Coffee Co. – Little Rock, AK
While on a road trip I stumbled upon a pleasant surprise in Little Rock, a large coffee shop in a small city center. When I walked into Mylo Coffee Co., I was immediately enchanted by the people typing away on their laptops or relaxing with friends. There was something about this spot that made me…
Davis Street Espresso – Dallas, TX
To sum up Davis Street Espresso in one phrase: it’s coffee heaven. At first, when I walked into the Dallas café I thought to myself, “okay another rustic coffee shop”, but then I began to pay more attention to detail. Every minute element of Davis Street Espresso’s design is well thought out. For instance, door…
