Coffee

cof·fee (kôf, kf) 1. A drink made from the roasted and ground beanlike seeds of a tropical shrub, served hot or iced.
This seemly innocent drink is made in so many different ways all around the world at every time of day. I prefer my coffee in the mornings with some half & half and just a pinch of sugar. others like it black, or with just a dash of milk. However you like coffee it seems that everyone can appreciate the warmth of the mug, the sweet aroma and soothing taste.
I was never much of a coffee drinker, let alone a connoisseur, but I do consider myself to be an adventurer of Coffee shops. Most of my finds aren't my own, they were shown to me by the Queen of all coffee, Jana Cranmer, my predecessor of coffee adventuring in San Diego. So if you're ever in the area and looking for not only a great "cup o' joe" but a lounge to relax, these places are a must!
