I think the cafe near my work is in dire financial straits, which is a bummer, they make good coffee.

Bummer indeed. Btw, there is no good coffee in New York. Just so ya know.

I thought it was just Ithaca that sucked on the coffee front, but no. So far, the entire state is coffee-inadequate.

What’s worse, they’re utterly clueless about this fact. They tout their dry, flat, bitter-ass swill as great stuff. The local favorite is claimed to have learned from a Seattle roasting master, but I hope that’s a lie. 

There is a local roaster at the end of our street, so all I smell is burnt fucking toast all morning and many afternoons.

Burnt. Toast. And I mean boring ass gas-station white bread toast, too.

I suspect it’s all about the caffeine content for them.

*scratches Cornell and Columbia off my list of PhD programs*

I remember a New Yorker article once hyperbolically described NYC coffee as “a lipstick stained mug filled with dirty hot dog water to carry down 6th avenue until a drop of what is either Legionnaires disease infected air conditioner leak or someone else’s spit lands in it”,

The burned coffee sounds just as bad. I’m sticking with the West Coast. Tho my friend who is super into good coffee said the best coffee he had came from Calgary (Phil and Sebastian) and Yellowknife (Barren Ground). I need to visit both to figure out if he was right.

Coffee’s bad but the pizza and bagels are excellent.
