Anna Guiles, Oakland CA. Anna’s coffee blog is The College Grind.
Taken atĀ Beatniks in Chico, CA. They are a really friendly “coffee house and breakfast joint” which is one of my favorite places to go with my friends. They have six different serve yourself coffee choices (so we like to sample all six of course!) and the owner is a really personable guy who likes to get to know his customers.”
I haven’t lived in Chico for 30 years (really, has it been that long? not possible), but I would consider a return visit, just for one of those mugs. And a burger and beer at The Bear, of course.
