I love local businesses, The people who run The Coffee Tree Roasters have a great business going. I admit I love Starbucks, Caribou Coffee, Crazy Mocha, and all the others, but Coffee Tree Roasters has the best coffee in the city. Their French Roast is over the top, syrupy, smokey sweet notes with a bold but not bitter flavor.  I love to order a French press of their French Roast and sit down with the City Paper and kill an hour. \n\nI'm not much for the foo foo drinks like frozen frappa cappachino with 3 shots, low foam, extra wet, blah blah blah. I do on occasion, mostly in summer month enjoy Iced coffee. At Coffee Tree they have the best. They double brew their Iced coffee so it stands up to ice. I get it with sugar free vanilla syrup and soy milk. As good as a milk shake without the calories, fat, and guilt.\n\nThey have great employees here, and the one on Beverly Rd. in Mt Lebo. \n\nGreat bakery showcase, the lemon pound cake doesn't quite match the Starbucks lemon loaf but the coffee wins, hands down!
