In Short
Cooks, bargain hunters and coffee-lovers shop and sip side by side here. A small section of the store is given over to half a dozen tables, where customers can enjoy one of four coffees du jour, espresso drinks, pastries or juice. A heavenly, coffee-bean aroma permeates the store, thanks to the roasting that takes place just yards away from the retail space. The outlet offers beverage-related accoutrements, cookbooks, pots and pans, gadgets, glassware and dishes.

Fresh Coffee in Abundance

by snowman121065

Having been a customer of The Kobos Company for over 15 years, I have tried the competition and always return to Kobos, as they are the freshest and most true to the flavor of the bean- rather than covering it up with a dark roast. I love their attention to product quality, and miss the glory days when they were the "big boys" of coffee in this town.... maybe they will reopen a few more stores?!?

• Pros: attention to details, product knowlege, fresh, fresh beans
• Cons: too few stores

Being in the coffee business ought to qualify one to be the best judge, also having roasted my own and freshly ginding makes me favor KOBOS above all else.
