1. In preparation for competition, I have deemed my comp spro: Ethiopian Illili Daratu Harrar! This coffee is absolutely fantastic across the board in a variety of preparations, most notably (imo) as an espresso. Big blueberry and cherry notes atop a milk chocolate genache, with slight characteristics of Cinnamon and yogurt-like tartness. I have a few signature drink ideas underway, which I will be hammering out and experimenting with within the next 4-5 weeks, as to give plenty of time to practice that routine.
2. This years "Best of..." issue of Sacramento News and Review was just released, and Temple Coffee placed/won a few categories!
Best Coffeehouse
Best sober sipping spot
Best overall service (!)
Best restaurant architecture (3rd place)
Best casual ambiance (3rd place)
Needless to say, the entire staff is fairly stoked, and I couldn't be happier! To take "best overall service" over such establishments as Biba, Waterboy, etc, 4 star dining that are known for their immaculate service, is an honor and a fuggin half.
Thats all for now. Keep it real kiddos.
