Connoisseur Coffee Company of Redwood City, CA
I visited Connoisseur Coffee Company this morning in Redwood City. They have been roasting since 1984 - one of the oldest roasters on the Peninsula.
A visit to this shop is an educational experience and the shop is a treasure. In the back they have more than 20 varieties of beans, roasted and in burlap sacks waiting to be roasted. (You can buy empty original burlap bags for $1.)
They roast by hand, daily.
This is a bean shop (wholesale and retail), but they do have three or four drip coffees available, and they make a great latte. I had a Panama Bambito, from a very high elevation. It was great.
Stop in and talk to Shawn, and learn a lot about coffee. You can order online at http://www.connoisseurcoffeeco.com/mycoffee.html
