Minneapolis Coffeefest!!

So glad that Calhoun Square puts on this great event every year..Have to say that there was limited good, real coffee. Tillie's Bean was the hit, serving Waka Jawaka, Ethiopian Sidamo-both regular and organic- people were coming back beggin for 2nds..and 3rds...

Interesting that some other coffee shops choose not to highlight their coffee- but serve samples of soup...whatsthatabout?? If you cannot be proud as hell about your coffee, and highlight that- you need instruction.

A little bit of coffee to water ratio-info never hurt anyone. Remember for every 64 oz of water..you need about 4oz of coffee- thats the Golden Rule.

Let's hope Tillies won best in show..

Tillie's Bean Neighborhood Excellence!!

My favorite new "crave" drink is a White Slipper. White Chocolate, Cinnamon, amazing espresso & whipped creme.......You can find a delightful one at Tillie's Bean- on the corner of 28th Avenue and 38th Street. Tillie's Bean is a two-time SCAA Golden Cup winner, and they make outstanding beverages!! Watch for a booth at the upcoming Coffeefest at Calhoun Square and taste some of the perfect java...even roasted by master roaster -and co-owner Dave Turner. Try some house-baked, homemade delightful pastries while you are there.

You might even see Tillie behind the counter...she's about 3 feet tall!! ( Tillie is the adorable daughter of Maggie and Dave Turner) See Dave roast.....
