It's too bad. Does anyone remember The Haven?

They're lovely people, and the location is great. But the coffee is just not to my taste at all, at all.<BR/><BR/>A neighbor points out: "South Africa? Not so tropical, not so famous for coffee. Wine, yes; coffee, no." I was thinking that the RSA's a big country and maybe there was a huge coffee industry, but looking at maps of coffee cultivation, South Africa isn't even listed.<BR/><BR/>It's a darn shame.meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15246635448907995188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659570700681116455.post-42578966494957465312008-07-16T10:02:00.000-07:002008-07-16T10:02:00.000-07:00Too bad Cup of Joe's isn't open anymore.

But then Pomona happened. <BR/>Even though Cup of Joe's was the same property, business, and enterprise as Joe's BBQ, the city demanded they pull a separate business license. The cost was prohibitive and Cup of Joe's no longer serves coffee. This from a city that "tries" to get people down town.<BR/><BR/>Pomona JoeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659570700681116455.post-71810460351638688742008-07-15T10:05:00.000-07:002008-07-15T10:05:00.000-07:00To answer the first question: she has stock option...To answer the first question: she has stock options so keep coming back until you get the good espresso.<BR/><BR/>And to the second question: She's taking the fifth, although she confidently states that there may be others in Seattle that can make a good espresso.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14606885763750656686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659570700681116455.post-84683564781462186862008-07-15T09:47:00.000-07:002008-07-15T09:47:00.000-07:00How are we supposed to recognize the Edlette?

Stop by the Starbucks on Garey and Mission when she's working. I don't know when that exactly is, so I guess you'll have to keep trying.
