    I work at Higher Grounds in Ft. Wayne. I know John has mentioned you & your shop before. Where are you at in Indy?
  • Aaron Meza

    hey Bj, how are you? I knew someone was missing when I came down here. will you be attending the great lakes competition?

    Hope you are well!
  • Nick Cho

  • Maggy Jensen

    If you're going to Boston try out Simon's Coffee Shop and Jaho Coffee & Tea, www.jahocoffee.com! They're both great!
  • Anne

    Hey BJ, thanks for the note! I used to work at the 1369 coffee house in central square, and I still dream about their iced coffee. I've heard that Simon's (?) coffee is good too, but I've never been. Also, I don't know how you're going but there are some great cafes in Western Mass that may be worth deviating to if you're driving. Amherst coffee and the Lenox cafe are way good! Have fun in Boston, it's beautiful there. Come visit me in New York soon!
  • Colleen

  • Chris Hooton

    Indeed, my day was made so much better with the six shots of spro from your place! Awesome work. Keep it up!
  • Brady

    OK... just read Chris's review of the place... sounds great. Next time I'm in Indy (I have a sister-in-law in Greenfield) I'll stop by. My question - what the heck is Shagbark Hickory Syrup? I grew up in Ft Wayne and spent several happy years at Purdue, I know what a tenderloin is supposed to look like and just recently stopped drinking pop but have never heard of this stuff. Please fill me in?
  • Miro

    Thanks for joining the group Bj!
  • Jesse_Aram

    Hey are you REALLY at Ray's today? I'd love to see you again. Let me know. Either way we will be up your way when we're going to Chicago. It was awesome to meet some other coffee geeks in our immediate area. We'll definitely see you soon. -Jesse
  • Kevin Selig

    Thanks for the reply. Stop by the Cappuccine Booth at Coffee fest in Chicago to say hello if you get the chance.
