April 9, 2011 - Coffee Heaven

I think I've found coffee in heaven. Today, I drove down to Rojo's Roastery in Lambertville, NJ. I had seen it while Googling last year but never made the time for a visit — my loss. I wish I had gone sooner. I could have been enjoying the best that the area has to offer all this time.

In any case, a fellow coffee geek whose opinion I value highly recommended I take the trip. The people who own this place take their coffee very seriously. It's all fair trade, and they have a good stock of freshly roasted Africans, Asian and South American coffees.

From the photo, you can tell that the barista doesn't just make coffee. He makes art.

Random fact: Elizabeth Gilbert author of Eat, Pray, Love was born in Frenchtown.

I walked around Frenchtown, New Jersey today with a group of photogs from photographer Michael Downey’s meet-up. After about an hour outside my hands were cold so I stopped in at the nearest café. I counted about five on my walk around. I stopped in at the Bridge Café which just happens to serve Small World coffee.
