Thanks Jill for the compliment. As far as Asheville goes, I would stick with Izzy's. And that's interesting, I have never heard of the BacInTyme coffeehouse....

I have an 8am on Wednesday, but I'm going to see if I can swing a drop in when Brandon stops by...I had a great latte last night at Jackson's Java...I was REALLY surprised! I've never been to Caffiend in Asheville, it appears to be "unique"....yeah...BacInTyme is doing a soft opening this month...I haven't been there yet, but hear the tree is absolutely worth the visit!

I don't want to talk bad about another shop, they are nice guys that run it, but it wouldn't one of my personal favorites in Asheville for several reasons. The first is, the coffee just wasn't that good. I had espresso, and it was just way off. They blamed it on the machine, but I know better. The second is, you can smoke in there, and the smoke was so thick my wife walked out as soon as she walked in. Granted, this was at night, but still. Then, there were all the kids making out on a couch. It just didn't impress me. I love the concept, the people were nice, but not one of the better shops I have been to.
Thanks for the words about the new shop. I visited Debra @the Passage yesterday, she's a nice lady.

well, if like Indian check out youtube/shoalsstudios and learn how easy it is to cook and from my experience opening up an Indian Restaurant. First make or buy Garum Masala - I show you how in my first video - then try "butter chicken"

Where in florida is there no espresso? Maybe a good lead for a new cafe?

Everywhere but Gainsville is coffee-void. I don't think the market will support it, though, cost of living is just too high. I'll definately check out your videos; I'm having spicy tofu stirfry and batsami rice for dinner tonight. Rice just finished, I can smell it from the other room!

This was a cool idea. Just now got a chance to check in and read the blog. Glad you stopped by, and hope you enjoyed it. It was nice to be able to chat coffee with someone with such a great attitude, approach, and enthusiasm for coffee. I wish you the best.
