I was visiting a friend in the area to see the awesome eclipse, and heard about a local coffee roaster while visiting the Athenaeum. Being a sucker for local coffee roasters (and down to my last bag of beans while traveling) I stopped in. Unfortunately they had just closed! Disaster! Smooshing my face against the window they must have noticed my sorrow, because when they unlocked to let out one of the last customers, they let me in! Unexpected! Rescued! I bought 2 bags of the bean they had on tap, and would have been disappointed had I bought only one. There are now 5 places where I will buy coffee beans- Moab Coffee Roasters, Curve Coffee Roasters(Moab), Joshua Tree Coffee Company, Yellow Brick Coffee (Tucson) and Black Lodge Coffee Company. The staff are clever with the banter, the setting is welcoming, the coffee is "ahhhhh, yes. Just what I was looking for!" Worth the trip of the I-64 Interstate! A most excellent adventure!
