After seeing a piece on television about City Girl Coffee Company, she had my ear because I am a…read morediehard coffee drinker. But, I drink coffee like my adult drinks--what I like, I buy. Nothing to do with reputation, popularity or price, but strictly driven on taste and preference. Now, that I have my own job and my own check (20 years as a home maker), I have a little more disposable cash to endulge my personal hobbies. Coffee is one. So much so, I really considered opening a small independent coffee shop. Therefore, it goes without saying, I know about coffee--from soil to hot cup with cream. So when women entrepeneurs were showcased that morning, City Girl Coffee got my attention. Especially when she said beans are roasted and ground the same day. And she talked about the history of the parent company Alakef Coffee; a company started by her father because he wanted a good cup of coffee. Since I was running out of coffee and taking a trip to the Costco for my coffee takes planning and a 20 minute drive, I decided to give a go to Alakef. The worst that would happen is that the coffee was okay and I would freeze it as my emergency stash. The best, I would have a great cup of coffee. So I ordered a bag of French Roast (I like strong, dark coffee) and waited for its arrival. My coffee arrive the next week and I ordered ground because the convienence. When I sipped that first cup, I knew. Fresh roast, smooth taste, no bitter notes and great taste. Gentle but good coffee. Nothing harsh. My subscription for French Roast and Brazil ordered. My husband stopped drinking coffee about 3 years ago joined me in a cup--he takes his black. He vowed to get up in the morning and join me for coffee. Take aways: 1. If you like coffee and want the convience of home delivery give it a try. Subscription would cost you less than take out coffee anyday. 2. Smooth and not bitter coffee. The dark roast is not like Starbucks bold-gentle smooth taste without the harshness. 3. French Presh will yield the best flavor. Good luck and enjoy the coffee. To Alakef, thanks for making me happy in the morning. https://alakef.com/

This spot has a calming, laid back charm that is incredibly relaxing. The light snow fall accompanied by the soft music create quite a feeling of nirvana. They offer a few decent crepes, breakfast sandwiches and other items, but the coffee creations and the atmosphere are why you come. It's pricey, but such it's the cost for the environment. There is noticeably a younger crowd in this house. More of a modern feel than the old, rickety traditional shops. Even the bathrooms are up to date and spotless. I prefer the solitude, so timing is everything. You'll find both the noisy, crowded breakfast niche and the quiet, pristine haven will provide you with a memorable experience. 02/25
