I met D.D. here for coffee this morning... what a treat!  Obviously, the company was what I went for, but I was really pleased with the entire experience... I entered to a warm and cozy atmosphere and D.D. (who arrived before me) was saving a seat for me in a ridiculously comfy chair.  Not only that, but she treated me to a perfectly concocted, just the right temperature, medium soy latte.

There was a good flow of people coming in and out while we sat and chatted, but it wasn't distracting at all.  I saw several people working on their laptops, and I noticed that the employees were smiling and that there was a variety of breakfast items to choose from as well.

It's a little bit out of my way, but a pleasant place to go to grab a cup of coffee and read, work, or do whatever it is that makes you happy... I'll be back for sure!

The space is left raw and undone. It has a few black and white and color photos lining the wall, yet it is nothing like tony-esque expectations of The Village Shopping Center that you find at Hayden and Via de Ventura, yet its perfect in and of itself.

I asked for a large coffee (24 oz., $2.46). Okay, so its a little pricey, but the coffee roaster is there, on the property, and right in front of you. The intoxicating aromas (from the roasting) that fill the room will convince you to pay any price for this coffee.

I had the Costa Rica blend today - there's a sign that says - "if you're on the patio and would like a refill, its .50. If you leave and come back, please pay for another coffee." I totally understand because when I finished my 24 ounces, I almost drove back.

I'll be back.

LIQUID CRACK.  The coffee here is *really* good and the owner was once an air traffic controller.  He reads books on quantum physics for fun! At some point he quit his job and came up with a patented roasting technique and voila - fanfriggingtastic coffee.  Last time I was there they had a FreeBSD machine as a kiosk and Internet connectivity.  Not sure if there is wi-fi or not.

This place has some of the best coffee anywhere, plus homemade sandwiches and pastries. The Roastery is the place local Italian ex-patriates go for espresso. If you are tired of corporate coffee and corporate coffee shops, this is the place to go. I swear this is the best coffee I've ever had. You can also order beans online at http://www.villagecoff...
