Whenever I pull into a town or city new to me one of the first things I do is an internet search for the nearest coffee shop so I know where I’m going next morning. (I eschew complimentary hotel brews; life is too short for bad coffee.)
Just a few minutes’ drive from Solage Resort, I am able to take part in a celebration of the bean that stimulates mankind.
And to meet someone who takes great pride and exacts huge enjoyment from what he/she has created.
For British-born Clive, that passion is coffee. And his creation is Calistoga Roastery…
Clive’s creation is a spacious caffeine emporium with hardwood floor, plain wooden tables and chairs and a funky collection of eclectic art, placards and vintage coffee accoutrements.
Most important: Coffee of the highest quality.
The line for their caffeine juice says it all.
