It was a perfect day out for coffee, so I was kind of happy that I accidentally left my lunch at home. 21st Street Coffee isn’t too far from the office, and I was pretty sure they have Panini sandwiches (I was right). Couldn’t resist the latest thing they’ve got going on – Rwanda’s Gold Cup 1st place (Muyongwe) on the clover. Starts out with a semi-sweet chocolate / blackberry taste, and as it cools a little, the blackberry really pops out. There may have been a hint of citrus notes in there, too. Nice, bright and pleasant. Also had that Panini I came for as I hadn’t had lunch yet – ham & swiss on marble rye. Tasty. Place is always a good stop (has always lived up to the prior good rating I gave it, but just thought I should mention that cup of Rwandan – go try it if you haven’t already).
