Bean Counter Bakery
It will be hard to find a bakery or coffee shop that puts more effort into providing you with a pleasant viewing experience of your food or drink before you dig in. Look to see if the fresh, micro-roasted, premium brew in your coffee cup has a lovely design on the surface before taking a sip. The shop has won numerous awards for both its coffee and desserts.

Acoustic Java
What makes Acoustic Java especially unique is its hands-on and caring approach to the coffee they make for you. All beans are roasted on site in small batches each day. Beans are shipped directly from their places of origin, perhaps Ethiopia or Sumatra for example, and are not blended together so you can be sure you are getting an authentic brew of fresh java.
