regina, sask.

this place reminds me of hamilton, ontario. the weather has been pretty crappy. nonetheless, i managed to walk around to find a couple of decent coffe shops.i walked into AEGEAN COAST coffee and tea. the reception was, at first, luke warm but the manager (i don't remember her name....oops) came up to my table after a while and chatted me up. she was very nice and quite pleasant. but most importantly, i noticed that they were pulling 49th parallel (organic and epic). i have used epic at bisogno but it was too bright for my taste and found it really "finickie (sp?)". i switched over to the organic and am a big fan of this blend. unfortunately, i came into the AC coffee and tea on the day they weren't pulling the organic. i relented and ordered the epic. i was very pleasantly surprised at how good it ran on their rancillio (machine and grinder). it had a nice chocolate note to it with a very pleasant finish. it's still a not bottom heavy enough for my taste but it was a very good experience. i would highly recommend this shop to anyone coming to regina. it's very spacious and clean. they have a good selection of light fare AND you can have a proper corretto with your cappuccino or espresso. i had a shot of "pimms" with my double espresso. aahhhh....memories of italy....heaven.
