I love the rich smell of coffee beans and their brew–and the hissing sounds of expresso machines at work.
And what could be more fun than meeting a friend, finding a free table and spending a half hour or so catching up on the details of life. Or…bringing one’s laptop or iPad and doing some work in an aromatic setting.
Carlsbad is fortunate to have so many wonderful places to stop for a latte, double expresso or chai tea. And though many restaurants and bakeries also serve excellent coffee, this report is dedicated to those whose business is built on the bean (many of which also offer wifi service) and is updated on occasion:
