PORTLAND, Ore.
It’s pretty obvious that Portland has a strong coffee culture; I mean, it’s just south of the even more coffee-focused Seattle. But during my recent holiday stay, I felt the cafe scene in this city was even more heightened with several newcomers that quenched my thirst for a soy latte.
Another trend […]

I work in the Uptown area of Oakland, and for the last few weeks I’ve been noticing something happening in a space between a hair salon and pet day care center on Broadway. Turns out it was a new coffee cafe, but not just an ordinary cafe.
UPDATE: This cafe closed suddenly in summer 2019. Owners said it was time to move on to a new phase for the business.
This modern Berkeley coffee house on the far end of University Avenue (toward the marina) seems new to me, but it’s actually been open for more than two years. Algorithm Coffee Co. […]

VANCOUVER, B.C.
I’m not going to profess to be a coffee expert. My tastes in coffee goes as far as the one or two soy lattes per week that I indulge in, typically on the weekends.
But when I’m on vacation mode, it’s a latte every day as I explore what a city has […]

The new 1951 Coffee Shop in Berkeley looks like any other coffee shop — bags of freshly roasted beans, shiny espresso machine, and rows of coffee drinkers with laptops.
But this coffee shop, which is near the UC Berkeley campus, is unique because it’s a non-profit business that employs refugees and supports the refugee community. Opened […]

It’s back! The largest specialty food show in the country makes its winter stop in San Francisco.
Today I spent hours walking the aisles of the Winter Fancy Food Show at the Moscone Center, among the crowds of an expected 33,000 attendees over three days browsing more than 1,400 exhibitors. It’s like the […]

So much activity is happening in Oakland’s Uptown district, it’s hard to keep up.
But the latest is something you can’t miss, especially since it’s prominently at the corner of 20th Street and Telegraph Avenue, across from the Sears building (aka future home of Uber). And that’s the new Tertulia Coffee and Sanchez Contemporary Gallery.

PORTLAND, Ore.
Even though it’s been two weeks since I’ve returned home, I still look back fondly at my trip to Portland and continue to dream about all the food I ate.
And I’m not kidding when I say I ate continuously on this trip. This was a real foodie vacation (sure, I visited with […]

SANTA ROSA, Calif.
In my continuing exploration of artisan coffee in the Bay Area, I convinced my friend Jason to stop into Flying Goat Coffee in Santa Rosa last weekend after our wine and crab feed. The artisan coffee roasters only has three stores in the Bay Area, all in the North Bay (in Santa […]
Hard to believe with all my posts about Australia, but it’s been more than a month since I came home from my trip down under. While I experienced a lot of great food, I think what I miss the most is the coffee.
Surprised, huh? Especially since some of you might know I’ve only been […]

A couple of years ago, I noticed that a building around the corner of my Oakland apartment was up for lease. Formerly the home of a mattress outlet, I thought it would be a beautiful space for a restaurant with the building’s historic look and high ceilings.
Well, a restaurant didn’t move in, but probably […]

I’m continuing my coffee education by visiting some of the city’s most popular coffee houses. And entering the jam-packed Four Barrel coffee house on Valencia Street in the Mission, I knew a lot of coffee gets poured day in and day out.
Even on a weekday afternoon, there was a line of coffee drinkers waiting. […]

I never really had a reason to step into the Blue Bottle Café, the first grand coffee shop of the popular local artisan coffee maker, since I’m not a regular coffee drinker.
But when my niece was in town last week for her spring break and she said she wanted to check out the local […]

With some apprehension built up over more than 40 years, I brought the chocolate-colored coffee cup up to my lips and dove in – joining the 100 million Americans who grab a cup of Joe every day.
The first sip was like a jolt. The slightly bitter flavor of the coffee blending with the […]
