Can we get some good coffee around here?
Posted by Melissa Allison
Sacramento: Coffee wasteland? If anyone has suggestions, please send them.
The best coffee event since Portland was after lunch yesterday in Ashland, Ore.: Turkish coffee-flavored gelato at Mix Sweet Shop on North First Street. It's the only time I've enjoyed eating coffee grounds. The creme brulee gelato was mighty fine, too.
Looking forward to San Francisco later today, home of Peet's Coffee & Tea and Caffe Trieste, where opera is sometimes on the menu.
