The Best Coffee For Miles Around . . .
July 26th, 2008
Visited the brand-spankin’-new coffee roaster in Cedar Crest today called Fat Boy.
He is an east-coaster and rather slender, once you identify the source of fresh cups of jitter:
As it turns out, I was reading the guy’s news feeds months ago and was all excited the someone - anyone - was handling Ethiopian Harar in these parts. Once Thomas set up shop inside Wooby’s Cafe, I had to go pay a visit, exchange Twitter pleasantries, and of course talk about coffee.
He also had me sample some Harar brewed with an AeroPress, a new-fangled contraption that combines the best of the french press with the strength of a moka pot. Sheer wonderment ensued as I snarfed down a mega-caffeinated black cuppa right there on the spot, scalding my tongue in the process. Perfect!
Fat Boy (and Wooby’s) is open from 7:30-3pm daily, but call ahead especially in the morning, just in case they’re running a little late. Wifi is provided on the premises, and if they’re especially busy or bored, the 3pm closing hour could be extended at whim.
