The clouds broke and a ray of sunlight shot downward from the sky illuminating a path towards a strange building. A deep voice said unto me, "Go forth and taste the glory and rapture found within!"
Ted has a really deep voice and can be kind of a nut…More »

Sorry about that loud scream at 7:30 this morning neighbors - I forgot I was out of creamer. Ditto for the milk.
Apparently I had forgotten to go shopping again.
Plenty of cereal in the cupboards but the milk situation was a little funky. I can never…More »

Best coffee in town said other Yelpers?

Coffee & Tea

Oh good coffee how I love you.
A wonderful, smiling face behind the counter who actually cares about what you want your coffee to taste like? Priceless.
Do you want something with more of a kick? Darker or lighter? Sweet or bitter? Oh I have just what…More »
5. Gold Coast Coffee & Bakery
Surprise surprise! You never know what you might find in a little town off the coast...
We were on a road trip heading towards the coast via a friend's house and saw the sign while driving. Still needing my morning prayer of caffeine it was a must…More »
6. Sweet Maria's Coffee
A friend had mentioned Sweet Maria's as a place to get some fantastic beans as well as some home roasting accessories. I was in town for the day and made sure to include them on my to-do list.
To start with it is a very nice place. The staff was super…More »
7. Grand Coffee
Location location location!
I was running to the Bart station and had a NEED for coffee! I saw Grand Coffee and ran it hoping for the best, but really was just happy I wasn't going to grab something from MickieD's.
This little shop surprised me. It was…More »

After some very boring time filing court documents I thought I would treat myself. Ron said we needed to visit a hooker. At first I was leery until he led me in here.
Ho-ho...funny man. I must admit this place has a really great name!
Bread pudding and…More »
9. Main Street Cafe and Books
Main Street wins the 4 Star Combo award from me due to covering so many bases at one time.
To start, I love the Los Altos downtown. It has that true small town feel to me (even though things are a bit pricey). This shop has a nice outside spot to…More »
10. Golden Bean Coffee Shop
I love this cute little coffee gem tucked back into the Doubletree shopping area. If you don't know where it is, Google Map it because it is worth the stop. They have Blue Bottle coffee which is rare in Sonoma County.
Overall the shop is small, cozy,…More »
11. Merritt Station
Cute and Tasty!
We stopped in here for a little pre-adventure pick me up. I was needing some bean and my daughter can always use a nice smoothie.
I had an absolutely great mocha and was able to fool my kiddo into enjoying her healthy treat that was…More »
12. A'roma Roasters & Coffee House
My date and I grabbed some coffee (because I was hoping for a long night!) to enjoy while walking around. This is a nice spot because they have some good coffee and a ton of space.
You walk right in to the counter area and they have a ton of drink…More »
13. Caffino of South San Francisco - CLOSED
Sweet home San Francisco! I love a road trip but nothing beats that feeling of hitting familiar roads. After a long drive I needed a perk me up and I remembered about this sweet little shack in the south that serves up some fiendishly good bean.
Right…More »

It was an itsy bitsy teeny weenie little coffee shop with caffininy.
The downside of this place is that it is rather small and the service is not super quick. It was taking the baristas awhile to make drinks and I am not sure if it is skill or that…More »

Truth in advertising here - It's all coffee baby!
Fresh roasted beans on site can be such a delicious rarity these days. Sometimes you have to travel and extra few miles for that "fresh" cup. A big bonus is the quality of beans they also sell. The…More »
16. LaCoppa Coffee
Coffee coffee coffee!!!!
What I love in a coffee spot is a little bit of style, fast and friendly service, and good coffee. Having wi-fi or places to sit for hours are nice perks (along with a clean bathroom if needed) but really it is all about…More »

Coffee & Tea

Trying a new coffee location is always an enjoyable endeavor. To start with, I love coffee so anytime I need an excuse for a cup I can always say - well I will Yelp about it. More than likely I have a very bad caffeine addiction, but honestly I am…More »
18. Costeaux French Bakery & Cafe
This is a very nice and super busy spot in Healdsburg. We were drawn to it by the cute little signs that the town uses for directions. The French coloring and bakery made us think of something tasty to go with coffee while we strolled around in the…More »
19. Gold Rush Coffee
I don't drink coffee in Eureka often my friends, but when I do - I choose Gold Rush. Mainly because they have a great drive thru option in a perfect location on the way out of town, but I also like the options and beans they serve.
Gold Rush is very…More »

Double yay for great coffee near the Bart station!
Walking in, it was comfortable. It was clean and had a nice style. Also the staff was very friendly and had no problem talking about the coffees they had that day.…More »
21. Verve Coffee Roasters
It is always very funny to me when I find a coffee shop packed with people on laptops working. I am a writer and can never actually focus at such a busy spot like a coffee shop to actually be productive. But anyways....
Verve was really crowded. This…More »
22. Temple Coffee House
Here I am knee deep in Sac on an early morning and craving for some bean. Lo and behold there is a sign that says 'Temple Coffee House'. I am intrigued. Do they pray over the beans each morning to ensure high quality?
There was nobody enjoying the…More »
23. Peet's Coffee & Tea
Emergency pit stop for coffee on a road trip! Usually I avoid Pete's and Starbucks, but in a pinch I will hit up a Pete's first.
So push came to shove and here I am smack dab in Los Altos needing coffee and there is a Pete's. It was pretty standard…More »

Tough to get down on such a tranquil set-up with an excellent space to read a book while sipping a cup.
But at the same time it was a slight journey to get to the bean and I was in need of my fresh caf!
Overall I like the style of the place. They had a…More »

Stuck in Berkley and needing coffee - what is a boy to do?
Boom mobile Yelp to the rescue! So here we are at this highly rated coffee stop. My thoughts? They need to renovate this place a little and make it flow better. The place was busy when I came…More »

I needed a cup and a place to kill some time. The Yelpers said decent things about this spot so I felt compelled to try it and then kiss and tell.
First blush is a comfy spot to spend some time. There is a good selection of tables and couches…More »
27. Starbucks
Like a junkie needing a fix, my body started twitching a little. Uh-oh.
I was out shopping the afternoon and I was fiending for some caffeine!
But oh-noes! The only place I see around is $tarbucks. Well maybe I will get lucky right?
I remember when…More »
