I typically do not drink blond roast coffee from Starbucks . I happened to notice the packaging at the counter when I was picking up a bag of Pike Place and the Green Apron Blend caught my eye. After a quick discussion with the barista on duty, I was inclined to learn more.  Story here . It's good to explore and try new things.  Especially coffee. If you're willing to give it a "shot," I think you'll be pleased.

I am always super buzzed when I discover a new independent coffee roaster. Recently, I was gifted a bag of Zocalo Coffee in the Flourish blend.  I am embarrassed to say that I didn't even know this gem of a roaster existed in San Leandro. The Flourish is a lighter roast than I normally drink.  Very pleasant.  I can't wait to try the other blends. Zocalo is woman owned and operated. Grab your mug!  You don't want to sleep on this one (pun intended). Wonderful way to begin my week.
