With eight locations scattered around London, (seven that are accessible to the public) Department of Coffee and Social Affairs is definitely the coffee shop where edgy Londoners enjoy hanging out. The Covent Garden location was pretty small and crowded, but was able to cater to its many customers by offering outdoor seating and a little…

Coffee of the Month
Despite the fact that I have never even been on the west coast, I am a huge fan of Verve Coffee Roasters. Based in Santa Cruz, CA this company really knows how to roast a coffee full of flavor. My favorite is Miraflores, an Honduran single origin coffee with taste notes of red apple, toffee,…
Eighth and Roast – Nashville, TN
The second you walk into Eighth and Roast you already begin to mellow out. The brick walls, soft indie music, and dark lighting create a restful vibe for sitting with some friends and sipping on coffee. Known for their V6o pour overs and espresso drinks, Eighth and Roast is located away from the hectic parts…
Event – Third Wave Coffee and Beyond
The other night I went to an event called “Third Wave Coffee and Beyond” at Barista Parlor Golden Sound, which was sponsored by the Vanderbilt Institute of Coffee Studies and Department of Latin American Studies. The panelists consisted of a few anthropologists from universities in the southeast as well as the owner of Barista Parlor….
Coffee of the Month
Roasted in Portland, Maine, Tandem Coffee Roasters is a company whose coffee is growing in popularity. It can be found at little cafes across the U.S. such as Three Little Figs, Nine Bar Espresso, and occasionally at Three Brothers or online. I tried El Cielito a single origin coffee from Honduras. The second I took the first…

Located right on West End in Nashville, this cafe is connected to Cumberland Transit, an outdoor apparel and equipment store. The shop is large and open with a woodsy, calm feel to it. The music selection is great, playing either indie or classic…
Coffee of the Month
Barismo’s El Meridiano has a more subtle taste, but is best brought out with a Hario V60 pour over. This Colombian coffee is chocolatey with a fruity undertone, a truly unique flavor I have not tasted in any other type of coffee.
Gracenote Coffee Roasters – Boston, MA
This tiny coffee bar nestled right in the financial district of Boston is a nice escape from the busy city. They roast their beans in Allston and have them delivered to this location as well as other cafes serving their coffee. Most of their options are to go, so I ordered a cortado which I…
Coffee of the Month
Counter Culture’s Finca Mauritania is a great compromise for those who love nutty and bold coffee and those who enjoy fruity taste notes. This roast, with beans from Ecuador, tastes great with any pour over method and is one of my personal favorites.
Cafe Martinez- Asunción, Paraguay
Cafe Martinez is the cafe in Asuncion most similar to a third wave coffee shop in the U.S. Cafe Martinez roasts coffee beans from all over the world and gives people the opportunity to choose where their coffee is from. I decided to go with Colombian coffee. This cup was the first cup of coffee…
