America’s Test Kitchen did a tasting of coffee last week. Peet’s won over Starbucks and a few other brands. I think their K-Cups are also very good.
When we moved to Atlanta in the 80′s good coffee wasn’t easy to find. We used to regularly mail order from Peets. It’s been very reasonably priced at $8 for 12 ounces at Publix lately and is our backup when we can’t make a Dancing Goats run.
Strangely enough, I actually like the Starbucks beans you can buy at Kroger, etc.better than Peets, but I don’t care for Starbucks coffee at all in the shop.
Let’s all remember after Walmart opens who cares about the community: Give Dave and Tony at Intown Ace your business.
Not a problem! No way is Walmart going to spend the time finding me just the right 19 cent bolt that fits and matches my cabinet hinge! And no way will Walmart ever have the neat general store type stuff that Intown has. I don’t know who is making the buying choices for the feminine side of the store, but they have great taste.
There’s a “feminine side” of the store? Really? What’s in…uh, never mind…

Great story about the Intown Ace and it’s commitment to excellence and our community.
It feels sort of bizarre to be proud of the fact that I am a frequent customer there, but nevertheless, I am…
The book festival moved into a new office that needed painting this month. Anyone want to guess which hardware store donated the paint? Anyone? Bueller?
Loved, loved, loved Peet’s stores out west, hope they’re as good here. That was before their corporate expansion, when they roasted in the store.
