LMLM + Lagom P64. I use Heart beans from Bartavelle in Berkeley, one of my favorite coffee shops of all time.

*This is very different from anything else on this list. But it’s one of the best coffee shop experiences I’ve ever had. Go!
I’ve been asked a few times why Seattle is not here. It’s complicated. I lived in Seattle ages ago; it’s where my coffee problem started. But when I went back to my then-favorite cafe, Caffe Vita, it was just too dark for me. I guess my tastes have changed, and I just haven’t spent enough time there recently to have an informed opinion on the many great coffee shops I know are there. I did have a great coffee at Mr West downtown when I was there for a conference but couldn’t make it further afield. This is obviously TMI, but if you’re all the way down here you have no one to blame but yourself.
