I am with mooselywild. Can't stand the regular coffee from Starbucks, but do like some of the cold drinks. My DH was raised there, and we lived there for quite a while, so have had many of the blends. Just doesn't do anything for us, I guess.

We have some really good local roasters, like New Mexico Coffee Company (love their Santa Fe Trail blend) and Aroma (Aroma's Best Dark is wonderful). NM Coffee Company has a line of organic coffees called Avalon that are tasty.

When I go to Santa Fe, Ohori's has outstanding coffee.

Usually, though, I buy my coffee at Sunflower Market (a small chain with stores in CO, AZ, and NM). It's reasonably priced and really yummy.

Trader Joe's Bay Blend is good, too.

Lee Ann,
I miss Sunflower sooooo much! We were in Tucson last week and I just had to go in and pick up a few things.
Have you ever gotten coffee at the A Store on Central in Nob Hill? Their sumatra is great. I think it maybe Ohari's.

No, I haven't, Debi! I'll have to check it out next time I'm down there; there's a new farmers' market in Nob Hill on Thursday afternoons that I want to visit.

Which reminds me - Flying Star's coffee is pretty tasty! :-)

Lee Ann,
You are right about Flying Star! My daughter just starting working at the one on Rio Grande. Don't know how I could have overlooked them!

Lee Ann,
The A Store is on corner of Carlysle and Central...park by co-op. They also have great kitchen things.
