Finally Found Northwest Type Coffee in the Southwest! Yey!

Wow, what a pleasure to find some tasty coffee in the Tucson area. While over on the east side, I found Caffe Nation, at Broadway and Pantano, which actually has some good coffee. After living in the northwestern part of the country for several years, as well as growing up around some fine coffee roasting companies, I have really come to appreciate a good cup. Evidentally the Tucson Citizen had named them Best Coffee in Tucson also. Now, I won't say the artistry of fancy steamed milk and pictures in the foam exists, but the coffee by Arbunkle's has great flavor and the chocolate used for my mocha was good quality also. They offer most of the well known drinks, lattes, mochas, specialty drinks and the like. Arbunkle's sells beans directly to consumers also, as it appears from their website. Yey, now I will treat myself each time I am over there. www.caffenation.com

      Yes, thanks Arbuckle is what I should have typed. Looks like they have quite a neat history and thanks for telling me where else I can find it.
