Something I don’t see too often in Los Angeles: A Black Gold film poster at a jazz club / cafe.
That pic was taken at Papa Toby’s Revolution Cafe, a lil place in San Francisco that Nina and Gregory — authors of The Coffee Book — introduced me to on Saturday.
A night of lovely live music, a relaxed crowd, and an intense ginger beer — a nonalcoholic brew with a serious ginger kick!
Anyway — I got curious and called Papa Toby’s yesterday to find out where they got their coffee.
Moschetti, said the nice guy who answered the phone. He even spelled it for me.
Moschetti doesn’t appear to be a fair trade licensed roaster, though their coffee is organic….
I’d like to think that, since they put up a Black Gold poster and all, that Papa Toby’s checked with Moschetti to make sure they were sourcing their coffee beans ethically. However, I need more proof — and I encourage regular Papa Toby’s patrons to ask –
I didn’t drink any coffee at Papa Toby’s though — just the ginger beer.
A lot of people are shocked to find out that I drink only about 2 cups of coffee a day, and rarely drink coffee after noon. I have enough trouble falling asleep as it is –
Couldn’t function without my morning cups of coffee though –
