They sound amazing! Becks, I definitely need to give them a try — I saw your post about them, I think, not long after I posted this — I really need to get my butt in there and try their brew.

They have locally roasted, organic, fair trade coffee. Also, their baristas make the best designs in the foam, like <a href="http://oaklandliving.wordpress.com/2008/10/07/i-3-awaken-cafe/" rel="nofollow">this sweet little heart</a>. Ever since Awaken opened, I haven't gotten my caffeine fix anywhere else in downtown Oakland. They're committed to sustainability and to the community. Plus, they always have beautiful art on the walls. You absolutely must try Awaken Cafe! They have locally roasted, organic, fair trade coffee.

But soon...I will have to make it happen. And I do love Peerless, for sure!

Peerless is local, and you will go ecstatic drinking it. Hit Jack London Square, right off the last main Oakland Bart stop, for both the incredible farmer's market and a cuppa joe. In Peerless, you can see the roasters and grinders behind the window in the wholesale shop. Blue Bottle coffee is local, and you will go broke drinking it.

It is, perhaps, an exhibition of my only-childness... Foodhappens, I thought about doing that, but decided I didn’t feel like sharing my coffee with the entire office.

We've been lucky to find a few sources for locally roasted coffee around here... but none of them are close to where I work, so I've resorted to bringing coffee from home and brewing it in the office.

But still, we can only give it the college try. Now that I've discovered salt in my caramel coffee, I don't know that I can give that up, anyway... Kim, it was all such inspired thinking.

At work, I've been dipping into the tea they offer here (but not the coffee), and I've definitely, um, fallen off the Eat Local wagon a few times already this month, last night's Ethiopian dinner included... Eva, there are definitely some great ones in this area...the problem is that none of them supply the coffee shops right around my office! I'm getting a fix in the morning -- fixing myself a huge mug of locally roasted blend before I leave for work, but it's the little break to run out for coffee that I miss the most!

There is a local roaster in Falls Church called Beanetics - they wear labcoats and everything! I hope you find a local-to-you roaster soon! We’re really lucky in Alexandria, VA.
