I had a meeting after my day at work today and it wasnt worth going home only to go back again so I grabbed some dinner out. To my surprise the fish shop I got my meal from had a shiny new machine and signs of the roaster who supplied their beans. I recognised them as a fresh roaster as I have bought their beans before for home use in my combo, and liked them. So I checked the grinder and saw it was empty so asked for a coffee. Just a takeaway flat white. Who really wants to enjoy a coffee at a fish shop? The cook/barista did a reasonable job and got me thinking.... How often we can miss the good coffee because of the unlikely place you may find it.
It seems early days and I am sure as these people get more confident some great coffee will happen and not much around the area comes close so nothing to lose really. I would grab a takeaway again for sure. When I normally grab a coffee out I like to relax and enjoy the experience of the cafe as well so takeaway is not my preferred option. But on Mondays I often go without coffee so is good to know a place handy to work to get an enjoyable cup.
So anyone else been surprised by a good coffee at an unlikely place?

. The funny thing was though, it was the youngest PBTC who really new her stuff when it came to coffee and she was the one I waited for to serve me. Alas, the business is no more, like a lot of small takeaways here in Warwick, they dont seem to survive for very long.... I guess the turnover is just too low and there are too many competing for the few dollars on offer.
