Caribou at Walton and Adams has lots of seating, a convenient "kids corner" and a really yummy tea latte. I also like Bean & Leaf because it has good atmosphere, is local (rather than a chain) and oh yeah, they make a good latte, too!

Caribou at Walton & Rochdale. Always quick service and with a smile. Definitely a major member of our neighborhood.

Well, actually, the best tasting coffee, if you really like the taste of coffee, that is with out a lot of extra stuff in it, is Paul's Restaurant on Main Street. But I don't think that you would have the atmosphere of staying there all day and using your computer and such.

That's why I love asking questions like this. I would never before have thought of Paul's for coffee ... but I vow to check it out, Barbara.

Dessert Oasis. My favorite barista is Nate -- so far he's "drawn" a leaf, a bear, & a swan in my lattes. I like the fact that Nate is so into coffee that he goes to the trouble to learn about it & roast his own. I also like the music & the furniture & family atmosphere.
