Let me start by saying I take coffee seriously. I like coffee. I really life coffee. Every day I grind my beans, brew my coffee, and drink about six cups of the stuff to get going in the morning. I think I make pretty good coffee. At least I thought so until earlier this week when I discovered Caffe Medici.
The espresso was excellent, but even more impressive were the vibe of the place (think Clarksville, not Palo Alto) and the owners' philosophy:
Our desire is to serve the finest espresso, cappuccino and coffee drinks in Austin, while providing a safe, healthy environment where community can thrive. We are committed to excellence in quality of product, customer service and coffee education. Through these we hope to share with you our deep love of coffee and community.
So the next time you're in Austin, I recommend you stop by. Here's a map. Bring your MacBook, read the paper, or chat with owners Mike and Alison. And fantasize about living here so you could have this coffee every day.
