Which coffee roastery in CT???

[blunomore]

I am such a coffee lover, so with a limited long weekend in CT coming up for me, to where do you suggest I get myself?

Truth
Origin
Rosetta
Deluxe
Or any other option?

 

[Alacrity]

Truth

 

[ajules]

Rosetta is top notch
Drink there at least weekly

 

[saor]

What kind of roast do you like?

Light-medium roasts. Don't judge me.

Origin is good. Tons of coffee shops in and around the CBD. So many... Have a look on Google Maps for Buitenkant - https://www.google.co.za/maps/place...c402b3ede7ba7f!8m2!3d-33.9293226!4d18.4217183

But they are not all equally good, right? So I was hoping for something special.

Taste is a matter of..well, taste
I'm a big fan of Origin - I've never had a bad coffee there.
Truth is up there too - although their coffee's can be a hit and miss at times.
Deluxe is pretty good too

Thanks for all the recommendations. I see that Truth has won some awards, so I assume that was for the product and not the other bells and whistles.

Why not get all they are within walking distance of each other.

That's exactly what I tried to imply to her...

If I were traveling alone and had only myself to think of, that is exactly what I would do! I would have a coffee tour of CT!

 

[mercurial]

Then try Origin first...

Thanks mercurial.

Yip... try them all.

Delux is best IMHO but you wont go wrong with any of those brands.

 

[mercurial]

Thanks mercurial.

Pleasure. All the best. Please do let us know how you found the various ones to be, if you get around to them all.

Truth

For 'ambaince' maybe but not for coffee.

You would assume wrong.

Deluxe. All. The. Way.

I am an utter coffee snob and I swear by them. Judd is a personal friend but I met him through coffee so not biased.

Haven't been to Bootlegger but using their beans at home and it's my favourite right now.

They have a few stores in the Western Cape.

Deluxe coffee sold in my building and the original shop is down the road.

Deluxe. Used to walk there every day when I worked in town despite having access to good free coffee in the office.

Origin also great although I admit its been a while.

Truth and Rossetta I thought was really average. I mean its good coffee just more comparable to Seattle (my favorite mainstream coffee) than the above.
